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?

Now India has to make a Galardo and compete with a Ferrari made by the States and a Porsche made by China
The States and China, they did a lot more in Mars than India did in terms of exploration and study
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?

Would you be able to tell me how either benefited the Indian population?
Didn't the States put living people on the moon?
So i doubt India ruffled any feathers with a moon mission

Didn't the Chinese ones bring some soil back?
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?

Is it not an entirely different ball game?

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

So the Minister gave an erroneous analogy which makes me wonder if he knows what he is talking about
Are you offended if Democrats call Republicans "weird"?
Your Mars mission was also inexpensive because it was extremely basic
It is a strange argument

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
Without any of this being discussed, Ashwin going directly to cost, seems a very untenable argument
A second point is - the Moon Mission was inexpensive because it was extremely basic
