Mark Kretschmann(@mark_k):Did you know Elon Musk was weirdly "predicted" in a Wernher von Braun book nearly 80 years ago? In his 1948 novel *Project Mars*, von Braun describes a future Martian government led by a figure called the "Elon." It's not a person's name, but a title for the head of government. Still, considering Elon Musk's lifelong obsession with Mars, this has to be one of the strangest coincidences in space history!
