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.
