Could be. But I recall there being shuttles up there currently, anyway. And wouldn't the extra income from museum ticket sales help defray the cost of the downward transportation.
And in the very least, depending on the size of the probe, they could use it to help puch the station away from the earth.
Anything beats just throwing it into the sun.
I can't believe they'd spend all tha money on a research project and just send it into the sun. Am I the only one who thinks maybe something like this belongs in a museum? It's not like we don't have shuttles in orbit right now. They've gotta have some room in the trunk.

But what you said seems to make sense to me.
