We say you cannot go there, you are simply wasting your time. We have got so much knowledge. No, you can attempt, just like a monkey. That’s all right. But our verdict is already there. You cannot go there. Ten years before I said this moon excursion is simply childish and waste of money in my Easy Journey to Other Planets. I am not a scientist, but how I dared to say? Because I know. I have got full knowledge. That is the difference. Without becoming scientist, we can give our verdict. Veda-pramanam.
