Should India join the Russo-Chinese lunar base?

Russo-Chinese lunar base MOA is essentially all for show. Russia is probably not able to, nor likely very willing to, contribute very substantively to such an endeavor. Both sides signed the MOU mainly as a geopolitical statement to the US.

India is even less likely than Russia to be willing to contribute what will de facto be a primarily Chinese endeavor. India also has less to contribute than even Russia. So it seems unlikely China will see any value in making any sort of concession to bring India onboard.

The only way India will participate is if there is some improbable seismic shift in India’s geopolitical outlook, and China feels india could be pried away from the American into the Chinese camp, in some Chinese equivalent of Nixon going to China. But given India’s proximity to China, and similarity in demographic weigh and the similarity, thus incompatibility, of their competing long term geopolitical ambitions, such a rapprochement. between India and China would be vastly less probable than the rapprochement between US and China in the 1970s.

It is almost certainly many pieces put together. The reason that you can not see the black bars are probably because it is seamless DLP back projection modules.

Here is a company specialized in the business.

. This particular product has the edge down to <0.1mm. Two of them side by side will give you <0.2mm black bar. You would not notice it if you stand a few meters away.

Here is an application in Beijing traffic control center. You would only realize the edge because of the image contents.
