The rescue of NASA's Swift observatory failed. Was it worth spending money to save a satellite that has operated since 2004?

A NASA 2004 óta működő Neil Gehrels Swift Obszervatóriumának mentőakciója elbukott, a műhold hamarosan lezuhan, véget ér a két évtizedes misszió. Szerinted érdemes volt-e küzdeni érte?

• Yes, saving any scientific instrument is worth a try
• Only if the rescue is cheaper than a new instrument
• No, the money should go to new missions instead
• I don't know, I can't judge the costs
