I would welcome another probe to the planet. It would be worth it to study it in depth. The whole “90deg axis tilt” is weird.

"The whole “90deg axis tilt” is weird."

There is a new theory (part of Grand Tack) that Uranus and Neptune switched places at some early time, and in doing so possibly passed close to one another. That may be what caused Uranus to flip on its axis, and why the moons of both have such convoluted surfaces including melting and tidal deformations.
