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\u2014with  its   frequent mention of "antimatter" and "antimaterial particles"\u2014in  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.
