One of the few kleinbl00 comments I've ever upvoted. Preach it. I HATE the "hurrr why are we spending so much money on space when we should be doing ______________" arguments. On top of what you said, this was an ESA mission not a JAXA mission. The money came from the ESA budget over a decade ago, not from the Japanese budget for a disaster that happened 3 years ago.
