IMF Lauds India For A Moon Landing Costing Less Than A Big SciFI Movie
Chandrayaan-3 Vikram Lander on the Moon
ISRO
Keith’s Note: According to the Times of India: “I congratulate you on the Moon landing. But as an economist let me congratulate you for doing it in a budget less than that of the movie, ‘Interstellar’. Bravo!” International Monetary Fund (IMF) Managing Director Georgieva was quoted by a source as saying at a meeting during the G20.” FYI “Interstellar” cost $165 million. “Gravity” cost $100 million. “The Martian” cost $108 million. Chandrayaan-3 will end up costing around $75 million. Just sayin, NASA.

Absolutely all credit to ISRO for their achievement, but costing figures are very misleading.
What does an LVM3 launch cost ?
Maybe Chandrayaan-3 was only changed with building the second lander, and Chandrayaan-2 paid for all the development ?
Maybe the staff supporting Chandrayaan-3 are paid under a different accounting arrangement ?
