Despite all the sour comments trying to find fault and criticize, this is a remarkable achievement, especially on the heels of the failed Chandrayaan-2 mission.

Despite all the sour comments trying to find fault and criticize, this is a remarkable achievement, especially on the heels of the failed Chandrayaan-2 mission. Congrats to the team!!! Just 4 years to recover from the failure and achieve a phenomenal success. India just keeps executing despite what others may say. The team deserves even more praise to be able to achieve these wins with limited resources.

And a very inexpensive/frugal attempt for that matter! It has been a miracle of cost effectiveness. This is a wonder on its own.

  Really the true wonder! Compare this to the US's SLS plans! The budget is mindboggling.

    Yea, back originally when the SLS was on the drawing board to be made it was supposed to be the safest ROI and it hasn’t even been launched successfully yet .

      It had a successful mission back in November: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artemis_1 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artemis_1

    To be fair, the spending is SLS's primary mission, the snakes pushing for it couldn't actually care less about how often it flies or how useful it is.

  What was the budget, and how does it compare to similar projects?

  >It has been a miracle of cost effectiveness. This is a wonder on its own. India has the third highest global GDP by PPP. This is incredibly powerful when you invest in your citizens education the way they have, as the cost of anything like this ends up coming down to skilled labor prices. Their number one competitive advantage at this point is human capital.

re: "Just 4 years to recover" This mission was originally slated for 2021 but COVID ended up delaying it.
