Space travel has    always been possible, and people have been traveling the universe  long   before  the invention of rockets and shuttles. Vedic evidence  suggests   that yogis and  other more evolved beings can travel freely  throughout   the cosmos via  technologies that are practically unknown  to us today. Srila Prabhupada wrote Easy Journey to Other Planets—with  its    frequent mention of "antimatter" and "antimaterial particles"—in   1960,   in response to the "space race" going on at the time between  the  U.S.   and U.S.S.R., and the obsession with exploration of the  moon, etc.  by   means of rocket-powered spacecraft. Prabhupada  questions the ultimate    significance of such endeavors, while pointing  out that the  exploration   of material space is neither a new idea nor  the most  intelligent one,   from the spiritual point of view. In Easy Journey To Other Planets, Prabhupada shows through  reason    and reference to ancient Vedic texts that travel to other planets     within this universe is ultimately an insignificant project. Our   desire   for cosmic exploration, he says, can be fully satisfied by   traveling   beyond this limited universe to the unlimited,  antimaterial,  spiritual world.
