There is a big advantage when it comes to India, as we have a cost-efficient moon mission. Pawan Kumar Chandana, co-founder of Skyroot Aerospace, a start-up that developed Vikram-S, said, we have done rockets, satellites and more and only human mission is lagging behind, which will be the next level. The prestigious human mission will develop extensive opportunities for research, generate employment and will also stimulate public interest.
