India can set up base on Moon in 10 years: Ex-DRDO scientist

Pillai, who had spearheaded the Brahmos Missiles programme, said, "India will be able to set up a factory on Moon to process huge reserves of precious raw material and bring the extracted Helium-3 to Earth," a statement by War and Peace said.

Pillai said India’s base on Moon will also “become a hub for future launches” for missions to other planets in the solar system. (PTI/Representational)

Former DRDO scientist A Sivathanu Pillai has claimed India will be able to set up a base on the surface of Moon in ten years for extraction of the Helium-3.
