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
