I wonder participating in ISS was a mistake for Japan. It sucked up most of Japan's space program budget with very little to show for.

Their astronomers and engineers at NAOJ are wonderful. They built (and paid for) the Atacama Compact Array, which forms the center of the ALMA radio-telescope and is part of the Event Horizon Telescope.

Isn't participating in ISS itself something to show? What does it mean to have something to show for?
