Presenting the Billion Dollar Question: Why did, it
require 40 days, for the Chandra yaan-3 Lunar
Exploration mission to reach the Southern pole of the
Moon?
In contrast, China's Chang'e 2, launched in 2010, only
took four days to cover the distance between Earth
and the Moon.
The Soviet Union's Luna-1, the pioneering unmanned
mission that came close to the Moon, accomplished
the journey in a mere 36 hours.
Even Apollo 11's command module, Columbia, which
carried three astronauts, reached the Moon in just
slightly over four days.
Well, the |SRO program, has a budget of just $75
million, which is the main reason they have to use the
ingenious method to lower cost by implementing the
gravitational pull of the moon and the earth, to get to
it's destination because of it's Less powerful rockets.
The Chinese Chang e 2 cost around $219 Million,
adjusted to inflation, it's over $316 million

The Soviet Union Luna 1 in the 1960s cost around
$200 million, when adjusted to inflation.
The estimated cost of the Soviet Union, Luna program
in 1964 was, 6 to $10 billion.
And the most Ambitious program, Apollo 11! cost a
staggering $25 Billion, during the 1960s and when
adjusted to present-day, inflation it's around $200
Billion.
