A Brief History of Space Travel In Science Fiction

The writers of the last couple hundred years, especially the 40s, 50s, and 60s, are the ones we remember most when considering the history of space travel in stories. But actually, the idea of mankind traveling through space is much much older. Ancient in fact. There are Hindu stories from the Ramayana, which is one of two major Sanskrit epics, depicting flying machines capable of destroying cities with advanced weapons of mass destruction and traveling into space. These date back to the 4th and 5 Centuries between 300 AD and 500 AD.
