Is it not an entirely different ball game?

Without any of this being discussed, Ashwin going directly to cost, seems a very untenable argument

On the other hand, a mission to the moon, something already done by everyone else of consequence, is not something that would challenge anyone's interest in any way

How did you as a human being change while growing up?

I don't think the Big 5 Companies will take that lying down and may place a lot of obstacles in India's way
