The only answer would be a possible advantage for ISRO, sometime in the distant future

Ashwin talked of the Moon mission being at a fraction of the cost but did he also talk of the objectives of the various moon missions of other countries?

A second point is - the Moon Mission was inexpensive because it was extremely basic

Which scene is considered the most difficult to watch in each of Quentin Tarantino's movies?

So the Minister gave an erroneous analogy which makes me wonder if he knows what he is talking about

Didn't the Chinese ones bring some soil back?

So if you translate his speech, is he saying India would create a low cost AI model which will fulfil some very basic objectives and not be anywhere near the level of the latest versions of GPT or Deepseek?
