Elon Musk reacts to post claiming Chandrayaan-3's budget less than 'Interstellar'. Check out
Hours before the Chandraayan-3 completed its soft landing on the Moon, Tesla chief and the world's richest man, Elon Musk, responded to a post on X (formerly Twitter) that said the cost of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO)'s mission is less than the budget of the Christopher Nolan directorial film 'Interstellar'.
In his reaction to the post, Musk said the mission is "good for India".
The post said that while the budget for India's moon mission is $75 million, the makers of Interstellar - starring Matthew McConaughey - spent $165 million on the project.
