Duffy must be feeling some pressure if he’s trying to trade on Japan’s valor to pump up the Trump administration’s space policy. Why not just congratulate JAXA and leave it at that?

Ha, yeah, but it berths to the American Harmony Node that was built... in Italy by Thales Alenia? Damnit.

The actual American involvement is probably mainly the barter agreement to fly JAXA astronauts in exchange for cargo.

Ha, yeah, but the module's name contains the American word 'harmony', which was first used...in 14th century England...and originates from the french word Harmonie. Damnit.
