“Beam me up, Scotti.”
Famously expressed by Captain Kirk whilst on a planet and awaiting transportation back to the star ship Enterprise hovering in space
It’s, of course, actually based on contrived scientific materialism , that we are simply combinations of  atoms and it  would be possible at will  to break them down  move them in a light beam and then  reconstitute them  in perfect order  in another place , certainly matter could be thought of in that , but our  consciousness? The vedic understanding of dualism must be understood : is consciousness neurons firing in a brain or something more mysterious?
Factually, according to the Vedas ,  our  consciousness has the ability to transport itself instantly to destinations in many  other planets and destinations , in fact, death means just that . The gross external body is left behind , and it is  made of atoms , elements , and compounds . But even before death by training oneself in astanga yoga , the consciousness can travel in a different type of body instantaneously,  whilst the gross body remains where it is , only to be entered into on return. This feeling may be somewhat familiar because in dreams one is lifted out the body,  the body is totally forgotten , some people feel themselves ascending or decending from their bodies.

The Darwinians and those who profess to understand life are  subjective thinkers , in reality, they  are clueless about consciousness,  that is a fact .
Easy journey to other planets should be read by AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada , for those wishing to temporarily or permanently traverse the universe and beyond .

The Vedas contains many, many  examples of space travel as well as descriptions of all kinds of space ships and so-called aliens . There are, after all, 400,000 different ” humanoids ” recorded in the Vedas
