Prabhupāda: One, the origin of life, and the other, planetary system. There is no knowledge. They are simply speculating.
Rākṣana: It is correct that the illumination of the moon is caused by the movement of the vegetation on the surface?
Prabhupāda: Yes.
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.
Prabhupāda: That is the point. Therefore it is doubtful whether they have gone there.
Devotee (1): Did they go to some other planet, Prabhupāda?
Prabhupāda: That is different question. But they did not go to the moon planet.
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)
