NASA says humans could land on Mars in 25 years

I was going to post this in the history thread, but I guess it fits here as well:

Werhern Von Braun's original 1948 unpublished novel, Men Between The Planets mentions "the Elon" as the leader of Mars. It was not published until 2006, as Project Mars: A Technical Tale, and then translated and re-published as The Mars Project in 1953.



The part about Elon, the book refers to a Martian that leads the people of Mars as "the Elon".

An interesting coincidence?
