India landed on Moon for $80 mn; US can’t make a building at that cost: US lawmaker

US Republican leader and Congressman Rich McCormick, while speaking at the Centre for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), said, "India put a spaceship on the dark side of the moon for under $80 million." "Not $80 billion. $80 million. America can't even make a building at that price," he added. He also praised PM Modi for purchasing oil from Russia.
