Budget of Chandrayaan-3 is less than Interstellar! What did Musk say on India’s moon mission?

by

Chandrayaan-3 VS Interstellar: India’s Chandrayaan-3 is all set to make history on the lunar surface. At this time, the eyes of the whole world are on India’s ISRO’s moon mission. Meanwhile, a tweet is going viral saying that Chandrayaan-3’s budget is less than Hollywood’s Christopher Nelon’s science-fantasy based film ‘Interstellar’. After this tweet went viral, Elon Musk, the head of Tesla & X and the richest man in the world, reacted to it. Responding to a post on X (formerly Twitter), he said, “Mission is good for India.”

X posted with the name @Newsthink which posted Chandrayaan-3 and Interstellar movie poster. The post reads, ‘You’ll be surprised, the budget of Chandrayaan-3 ($75 million) is less than the Hollywood film Interstellar ($165 million).’ Elon Musk has also given his reply on this tweet. Let us tell you that in the year 2013, the budget of India Mars Mission Gaganyaan was much less than the Hollywood film ‘Gravity’. The budget of the film Gravity was 644 crore rupees while the budget of Gaganayan was only 470 crore rupees.



On the day of the launch on July 14, 2023, news agency Reuters reported in a report that Chandrayaan-3 was built on a budget of less than $75 million (about Rs 615 crore). An ANI report giving more details about it later said that the sanctioned cost of Chandrayaan-3 is ₹250 crore (excluding launch vehicle cost). At the same time, if the price of Interstellar is converted from dollars to rupees, its total budget will be around 1,200 crores.

On the other hand, when it comes to the cost of films, ‘Adipurush’ is not far behind. Its total cost was 700 crores. However, its official data is not available with us. Chandrayaan-3, which includes a 2-metre-long lander, is designed to deploy the rover near the Moon’s south pole, where it will operate for about two weeks, or 14 days, during a series of experiments. At the same time, the Vikram lander’s total distance travel capability is only 500 meters, which will provide important information about the Moon within days.
