Doesn't look good for a second attempt.

They'll have to maneuver Hayabusa dangerously fast; use up much of their precious remaining fuel; and probably

Nice try, JAXA, but at least you left a target marker on the asteroid surface, and took
unprecedented close-up images [17 -10 meters?] from an asteroid.
Oh....They also have established bulk density for that asteroid and obtained surface mineralogical data
from its suite of instruments.
