A scientist predicted in 1953 that someone named Elon would take humans to Mars (and emperor Martiano would be proclaimed)
Simpsons are not the only ones who predict things;A 1953 book already anticipated Elon Musk's plans to take humans to Mars.
Last October, Elon Musk, executive and co -founder director of Spacex, a private company focused on space exploration, announced one goal: in 2024, humans would step on the red planet.For this billionaire, colonizing space is the way to save the future of the earth.
"If we manage to create multiplaneary life, the day will come when plants and animals will die on Earth, but they will remain alive on Mars," Musk explained in a tweet from mid -April.
What Musk did not know was that his goal was already written.Not in the stars but on paper.
On December 30, Musk cited on Twitter a popular phrase of young Frankenstein: "Destiny! Destiny! There is no way out for me!".
Despite the geek origin, this exclamation refers to predestination theories;The life of each human being is already preferred (be it by divine designs, either by genetics ...).
Elon Musk's key that you can also follow to learn and be an expert in what you propose
Surely Musk wanted to frike a little on Twitter, something he often does.What I would not expect is that this reference gave rise to a surprising revelation.The User Toby Li replied with the following message:
"Speaking of destiny, did you know that the book Mars Project (Martian project) written by Von Braun in 1953 mentioned that a person named Elon would take men to Mars?.
The book in question according to Gizmodo is Mars Project: A Technical Tale.It is from Wernher von Braun, astronautical engineer and space architect of German origin.He was one of the main creators of Missile V-2 of Nazi Germany (towards the end of World War II) and one of the many scientists who emigrated to the United States and helped that country to develop space exploration, a step thatculminated in the creation of NASA.
His non-fiction book is not an essay to use, but uses the narrative to tell a normal reader with all possible likelihood how a trip to Mars could be during the cold war.
Although the book may not sound, its publication was crucial for space exploration.A NASA document entitled Eyes On The Red Planet: Human Mars Mission Planning, includes an appoint).And his book "became a reference for the missions that try to send humanity" to the red planet.
The problem is that the explanation of the user Tobby Li is not entirely exact.In his book, Von Braun does not say that a person named Elon would lead the human community on Mars, but that said leader would have "Elon" as presidential title.
Who clarified this topic was another Twitter user, Pranay Pathole, who offered the English version of the book.
The paragraph in question says: "The Martian government was led by ten men, the leader of which he was chosen by universal suffrage for five years and was known with Elon's title.Two parliaments promulgated the laws that had to be administered by Elon and its Cabinet ".
Even despite this errata, the connections between the book and the co -founder of Spacex are still amazing.After all, in one of his updates of the Twitter profile, Musk decided to proclaim himself Emperor of Mars.A miraculously linked statement to the fact that someone in the 50 used their name to create a Martian presidential position.
