Taxes are going up to pay for the moon shot.

Badrinarayan: Once Prabhupada was looking at a newspaper someone had given him. On the front page was hype about the moon shot, "One small step for man, one giant step for mankind." Prabhupada looked at that cursorily and then went to the fifth or sixth page where there was a small article that said, "Taxes are going up to pay for the moon shot." Prabhupada said, "This is their real business." He saw the moon expedition as just a play to milk the people.
