There is no knowledge. They are simply speculating.</p>
<p>Rākṣana: It is correct that the illumination of the moon is caused by the movement of the vegetation on the surface?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes.</p>
<p>Rākṣana: So it should be fairly easy for scientists to prove, Svarūpa Dāmodara and such, that.... I know they can't prove there is illumination caused by the deserts.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: That is the point. Therefore it is doubtful whether they have gone there.</p>
<p>Devotee (1): Did they go to some other planet, Prabhupāda?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: That is different question. But they did not go to the moon planet.</p>
<p>Vipina: In the Bhāgavatam you also explain that the moon is about 1,600,000 miles away, so they couldn't have gone. It's beyond the sun, you said, Prabhupāda? (break)</p>
<p>Devotee (2): ...rectifying the senators and congressmen, is there much hope in talking to them?</p>
<p>Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: The politicians in Washington. He would like to know if it's worthwhile talking to them, preaching to them.</p>
<p>Devotee (3): Much hope talking to people like that?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: He wants to talk?</p>
<p>Devotee (3): Yes, I want to talk to them.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: No, no. He wants to talk or you want to talk?</p>
<p>Devotee (2): I want to talk to them.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: No.</p>
<p>Rūpānuga: I tried that, Srila Prabhupāda. It wasn't very successful. They're not serious. They shake hands and smile, but they don't want to talk any business.</p>
<p>Hari-śauri: They're so filled up with diplomacy anyway, it's impossible for them to understand anything. (break)</p>
