Is there a reason they couldn't just bring it back?

Yeah, we're out of propellant.

Also, the amount of fuel needed to do a return mission would be so enormous that it would be impractical.

When I see stuff like this, I feel ashamed that I complain when my DirecTV has the nerve to go out. I mean I'm getting the picture from a satellite in OUTER FREAKING SPACE. A little patience maybe?

Then again, what I'm paying is sorta absurd.
