Prabhupāda: ...sinful. And for this bluffing, they have spent millions, er, billions of... Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: It said thirty billion dollars just for that one episode. In the article the man says that many Americans already feel the same way he does, that it's a bluff. Prabhupāda: From the very beginning I have said it is childish, 1958. I am not scientist.

I have no... No, there are so many incidences. I never agreed, "It may be they have gone." They did not go. Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: He has very elaborately described how they faked everything. He gave in great detail how each part of the hoax was perpetrated.

The thing is... Prabhupāda: The Apollo, they were dying. They prayed to God. This is also artificial. Hmm? Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Our conclusion was that those three men who died were killed; that they never knew that there was a hoax while they were in training.

Then, at the time when the spacecraft was going to take off, they were told, "Now you're not going anywhere. This is only a hoax, so you have to act like this," and probably they did not want to. They refused. Therefore they were killed.

We were discussing this yesterday, Gargamuni, Śrīdhara Mahārāja, Bali-mardana and myself. That was our conclusion, that those men must have been killed by the government. Prabhupāda: Otherwise they'll disclose. Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Yes. And thereafter no one else died. After that, others did not die, probably because they were told that "Don't you do the same thing or you'll meet with the same fate.

Unless you toe the line and... Then you will also be dealt with very severely." Because they're such big cheaters, they will not stop at anything. Killing to them is nothing. Prabhupāda: Killing affair should not be regarded criminal affair. Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: No. Prabhupāda: They can kill even the president. Because they are meat-eaters, there is no mercy.

What is mercy, they do not know. Vinā paśu-ghnāt [SB 10.1.4]. Paśu-ghna. Mercilessly they kill animals, and they become accustomed to merciless... Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Yeah. Prabhupāda: That is Muhammadans' [indistinct].
