We spent a lot of money getting those probes there and the minimal amount of money to keep them going is money well spent. But in general, the space program is a poor use of scientific resources. Energy research would produce tangible results much more quickly. As much as I really dislike the space program, I'd have to agree with you that this program should continue.
