Your position is that only powers explicitly defined by the Constitution are granted to Congress. The Constitution only explicitly authorizes the funding of an Army and a Navy. By your definition the Air Force is unconstitutional.
The FDA, for sure is unconstitutional, as are most federal agencies.
Are NASA and the air traffic control system unconstitutional?
You are totally wrong about this one. The states regulated immigration. Even Art. 1 Sec. 9 mentions that states get to pick who they admit.
Absolute nonsense. Article I, Section 9 says that migration or importation can be prohibited by Congress and not the states. Your claim may, may, have been arguable prior to 1809 but not after it.
I would surmise that if the purpose of space exploration was conquest, then it would be Constitutional. I know Ron Paul says otherwise. The FAA is a component of interstate commerce and would be regulated by the federal government. However, I would say that regulation is limited to goods and services, rather than people. That agency does a lot more than regulate interstate commerce, so I would say that a lot of their power operates outside of Constitutional authority.

Interesting that you mention only this part and totally ignore history and the 1824 Supreme Court decision that says that immigration remains with the states.
The first part of Article 1, Section 9 was created to regulate slave traffic in newly formed states.
Naturalization does not equal immigration. Immigration was always considered a police matter and a state right until 1875 when the Supreme Court reversed their 1824 decision and said that immigration falls under the Commerce Clause. Voila, they created a power that they never had.
The federal government loves power and will take as much as it can get. It will do whatever it can to take that power, even if they have to say it falls under the Commerce clause. There is nothing the states can do about this, so what do you propose is their recourse?
