Interview with LA Times Reporter About Moon Trip -- December 26, 1968, Los Angeles:

Reporter: But if the impossible happened and they were able to safely land on the moon's surface do you feel they would have any difficulty or encounter any trouble with the beings that you say live there?
Prabhupāda: The trouble is already there. You are going with great difficulty and if you land there you may die immediately. Everything is finished. You are already encountering the difficulty. It is not very easy. The Russian scientists, the American scientists, they're trying for the last ten years. Still, they have not approached the moon planet. So difficulty is already there.
Reporter: Yes, there are difficulties but still people feel...
Prabhupāda: Just like the Russians advertised that "We are going there in 1965," they advertised to sell land. So these are utopian. You see? Somebody wanted to purchase land in the Russia. And they advertise also that they have plucked their flag, Sea of Moscow. What is this?
Reporter: Well, my point is that I was trying to determine if there are any particular religious beliefs...
Prabhupāda: It is not religious belief. It is not religious belief. It is fact.
