Prabhupāda: Calculation, they have calculation that sun planet is ninety-three million miles from, that is, they have accepted. I also accept it. I say the moon planet is 1,600,000 miles still further. So you cannot go to the sun planet, how can go to the moon planet?
Devotees: Jaya.
Candanācārya: Today is the day of scandals. These days, there are so many scandals in the United States.
Prabhupāda: Ask them. If they say moon planet is first, why not Monday first? Why Sunday first? That's a fact. Sun planet first, then moon, then Mars. Ravi, Soma, Maṅgala, Bhū. That is the calculation.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: That means that all the countries are cooperating together to cheat the people, because they're all...
Prabhupāda: No, no. They have taken from the Vedic literature.
Bali-mardana: No, they are right, Sunday, Monday.
Prabhupāda: Yes.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: No, I mean to say that everyone is saying that they have gone to the moon, that means they are all together cheating.
Prabhupāda: Yes.
Rādhāvallabha: The scientists have got radiotelescopes. They bounce the sound vibration off the planet, and depending on how long it takes the sound to come back, that's how far away it is.
Prabhupāda: Huh?
Rādhāvallabha: They bounce sound vibration off a planet, and depending on how long it takes the vibration to come back, that's how far away the planet is. So they've calculated the sun to be further in that way.
Prabhupāda: First of all, answer why Sunday first. Then talk of all nonsense.
Candanācārya: Mars is after the moon?
Prabhupāda: Huh?
Candanācārya: Mars is after the moon?
Prabhupāda: Yes.
Candanācārya: Because in French, Tuesday is the word for Mars.
Prabhupāda: And Saturday is last. Saturn is last.
Yadubara: Śrīla Prabhupāda?
Prabhupāda: Each planet is 1,600,000 miles away from one another.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: 1,600,000.
Prabhupāda: Yes.
Yadubara: They say they went 250,000 miles twice.
Prabhupāda: They say, let them say, first of all answer "Why Sunday first?"
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: What about these pictures we have seen on the television showing them jumping on the moon?
Prabhupāda: That you can make in laboratory. That is not very difficult.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Colossal hoax.
Mahendra: ...pictures are like the King Kong movie.
Prabhupāda: Yes. In King Kong movie they made cotton as cloud. (laughs). They can do everything in the laboratory.
