Yeah all jokes aside this is a actually pretty big loss for the scientific community. Assuming it's completely unrecoverable. We blew our chance to actually measure the conditions in interstellar space and see if it lines up with our theories, and another probe is not only not planned for the foreseeable future by any space agency, it will also take decades to get to where Voyager 2 is now.

Edit: Nevermind, see the other comment. It's likely not permanently lost!

Also haven't we been gathering interstellar readings for a while now?
