Svarūpa Dāmodara: But they are going to make houses on the moon now. On the surface of the moon they'll make houses in a few years.
Prabhupāda: What is the benefit?
Karandhara: There's plenty of space on the earth. Why do they have to go to the moon?
Prabhupāda: Yes.
Svarūpa Dāmodara: Because it was not done before, so they want to show it to the people. They want to show the power of science.
Prabhupāda: Power of science means imitating the barking of the dog. That's all. Dog is already barking, but they imitate and they become scientists. That's all. This is their power. How to imitate. That's all.
Svarūpa Dāmodara: But they will say, "We are more advanced." So they can imitate.
Prabhupāda: Yes. That's all right. But we are not so fools that we shall waste our time for imitation. We have got already real thing. Why shall I go to the imitation.
Karandhara: Their imitations are cheap. Like a sputnik, how does it compare with a planet?
Prabhupāda: Not cheap! Their imitation... They are going to the... They're spending millions and millions. It is very dear, costly. First thing is imitation, and that imitation is very, very costly. Very expensive. So that is their foolishness. They'll be satisfied with the imitation which is very costly.
