Yeah, I am thinking of a group of scientists designing something they know they won't see, because the next generation will be the ones to actually fly it, or do science with it. Like KB said below, the "pyramid-builder" type of planning, rather than the, "holy shit! That thing is still running! Let's do more science with it!" like we see with Voyager and Curiosity.
