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?

So i doubt India ruffled any feathers with a moon mission
Without any of this being discussed, Ashwin going directly to cost, seems a very untenable argument
Would you be able to tell me how either benefited the Indian population?
Didn't the States put living people on the moon?
Does India have the necessary set up in place?
A Maruti 800 and a Ferrari both transport people from one point to another but their entire purpose is extremely different is it not?
Why do men like to have sex with a woman's ass?
Was that a comparable argument ?
I don't think the Big 5 Companies will take that lying down and may place a lot of obstacles in India's way
Your Mars mission was also inexpensive because it was extremely basic
Adipisci omnis dolor vitae nulla explicabo tenetur.
It is a strange argument
Developing a Multimodal AI means challenging a 500 Billion dollar to possibly 1 Trillion dollar worth of investments made by the Big 5 Companies in the States - Google, Meta, Amazon, Oracle and Microsoft
Didn't the Chinese ones bring some soil back?

Now India has to make a Galardo and compete with a Ferrari made by the States and a Porsche made by China
Does India have critical areas that need AI models?
Is it not an entirely different ball game?
What is your review of UST Global?
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

A second point is - the Moon Mission was inexpensive because it was extremely basic
Have you ever had your crush reject you, and then later you all dated and married?
So the Minister gave an erroneous analogy which makes me wonder if he knows what he is talking about
The States and China, they did a lot more in Mars than India did in terms of exploration and study
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

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?
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?
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
