What do you think of India's IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw comparing the Indian government's efforts to build a localised AI model to sending a mission to the moon at a fraction of the cost?

Would you be able to tell me how either benefited the Indian population?
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?
On the other hand, a mission to the moon, something already done by everyone else of consequence, is not something that would challenge anyone's interest in any way
How do you treat a hematoma at home?
Is it not an entirely different ball game?
It is a strange argument
Without any of this being discussed, Ashwin going directly to cost, seems a very untenable argument

Does India have the necessary AI Talent?
So i doubt India ruffled any feathers with a moon mission
A second point is - the Moon Mission was inexpensive because it was extremely basic
Should women be allowed in “combat roles” within the military?
Was that a comparable argument ?
Your Mars mission was also inexpensive because it was extremely basic
India made a Maruti 800 that could take a trip between two places, at a lower cost that the States that had a Ferrari take the same trip long ago
For one thing, moon travel is not a commercial thing and the benefits of moon travel are primarily futuristic and at a level which cannot be immediately monetized
So the Minister gave an erroneous analogy which makes me wonder if he knows what he is talking about

Does India have critical areas that need AI models?
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?
The only answer would be a possible advantage for ISRO, sometime in the distant future
Are Americans really as uneducated and ignorant as portrayed in the media?
The States and China, they did a lot more in Mars than India did in terms of exploration and study
Didn't the States put living people on the moon?
