Yep, really happened:
Pioneering aerospace engineer and science-fiction writer Wernher von Braun may have predicted Elon Musk's plan to colonize other worlds nearly 70 years ago when he described a man named "Elon" ruling over Mars.
Von Braun created the character "Elon" in his 1952 science fiction novel "Project Mars" โ a space fantasy about a mission to Mars, according to a report.
Von Braun, one of the most important scientists in the development of rocket technology, describes a Martian government led by ten men, who worked under a leader "elected by universal suffrage for five years under the name or title of Elon."
How is this even possible?
What are the odds?
