    This move, as unfortunate and sad as it is, must be done.
    Cassini has discovered an ocean of salt water in one of Saturn's moons, Enceladus. Researchers think that there may be life on that moon, so therefore they chose to crash Cassini into Saturn before it runs out of fuel and may crash into Enceladus.
     
    But it is not yet the end of Cassini, the plan is to gather as much data as possible until the end at September of this year, Cassini will give us a further look at Saturn's south and north poles, with their raging hurricanes, furthermore, it will measure the size of it's rings, and lastly, it will measure the composition of Saturn's atmosphere and broadcast it back to earth.

    For those who may want some more context rather than the $$$ rhetoric the title of this thread hits us over the head with.
     
    Cassini has given us the opportunity to get much more information for the Saturn system, and we got to see how the various environments in the saturn system changed over a meaningful amount of time.  That is precisely the kind of information we need in order to plan future missions, like drilling/IceBreaker probes to explore these ocean worlds.  At the very least we've got a better idea of what kind of instruments we'd want to invent and pack along for the next trip.
    Throwing the probe into the gravity well of Saturn is just the smartest thing to do, or at least the least litterbug like action.  The missions ending, we're outta gas, the fat lady is clearing her throat.  I don't at all understand why anyone has any sort of beef with tying up the loose ends in a definitive manner.

    To be fair, they collected data for over a decade, and now the spacecraft is old and runns out of fuel and still costs a lot of money. They just decided to end the mission in a controlled crash rather then let it run until it will fail and they loose the control.
     
    It's not like the 3 billions are wasted for no result, the mission is / was a success.

    I guess you missed the part where is a nuclear powered probe. Even if it wasn't, why would you want to introduce a foreign body into a place you're trying to study?
