Sometimes it's so difficult to continue to feel positive about science news when there have been so many instances of false hope. Cautiously optimistic is the best position to be in, I think.

That being said:

I want the magical floating rocks to be real.

I want the talky computer to be self aware and capable of genuine creation.

I want the explanation for UAPs to be aliens.

I want reactionless engine technology.

I definitely still feel excited by things, but time has taught me to temper it.
