It’s a shame and somewhat of a waste.  Due to the creation of a departmental expansion within Space programs that enforce planetary and bacterial rights (assuming that alien bacteria even exists).  Our solar system and what we know of interstellar space, is that it’s a solar radiation waste dump filled with mostly dead planets mixed with the ever present danger of asteroids and comets.  With the possibility that primitive life is buried deep within Saturn and Jupiter’s ice moons.

From my article: Cassini (space probe): Will plunge into Saturn on September 15th 2017

“Originally part of the Cassini-Huygens, with the Huygen (named after Dutch astronomer Christiaan Huygens d1695) which separated in 2005 as the Titan (Saturn moon) lander from Cassini.  Huygen successfully was able to receive and send back to NASA images of it’s decent onto Titan.  Due to software issues was unable to send a full quota of photos back from the Titan surface.

At an overall cost of $3.26 billion one can’t help but ask; in reference to the argument that Cassini must be destroyed as it poses, speculatively, an interplanetary contamination risk to possible biological contamination  of  ‘alien’ bacterial life on Saturn’s moons.  Why destroy the craft?  When Huygen was placed on Titan, with the assumption that it poses no risk to microbiological  life, due to the hypothesis that Titan’s oceans are deeper within the surface.   All throw around theories while a craft, that essentially could orbit for decades around Saturn will be destroyed along with it’s price tag.”
