Today's Skyscrapers
The main reason that God had a problem with the tower of Babel is the mindset that the builders had, they were building it for impure motives, today buildings are built to serve as buildings only, they are not built to try to reach the heavens.

Tower today
That's an idea, however, with the knowledge that we have today, we know that if we build a tall tower we would obviously not reach heaven, the Babylonians literally thought that heaven was in the sky. Now i'm not here to argue where heaven is b/c that is an entirely differenty thread, but we could never recreate the exact circumstances of the tower of Babel. I also infer from your post that perhaps you do not believe in the existance of the God of the bible, because of this, you would not be building a tower to reach God, but to disprove him, and the bible clearly tells us not to test the Lord our God, because His ways are not our ways and great is the mystery of Godliness.

Re: What about the NASA space program?
We are missing the point here. The Babylonians literally thought that they would build a tower to God. Scientists and astronomers and anyone else who studies space are not looking for God, they are looking for life or anything else that might be found. the motives of NASA are not to reach heaven (the heaven where God is, the afterlife heaven).
