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
