StoicLimeIndia landed on the Moon for less than it cost to make Interstellar | The Independent
Interstellar grossed over $700,000,000 at the box office. How much money will Chandrayaan-3 make?
Just showing how pointless this comparison is.
It’s very hard to put a price on scientific advancement like this.
It often involves development of new technologies, talent and facilities that can generate money for decades.
The actual profit generated can be insanely large. Like the original NASA missions. They gave us so much technology. They are likely responsible for billions of future profit derived from the tech.
diprount_tomatoIt’s not an advancement if it’s already been done multiple times, just that by other countries
But even training those personnel and building facilities can lead to more breakthroughs later. It’s why it’s so hard to put a price on scientific endeavours.
