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.
