Elon Musk is a major advocate for travelling to Mars. It turns out, it may have been written in the stars all along… with a prediction from Adolf Hitler’s rocket scientist.

Located just 140 million miles from Earth, Musk sees Mars as a necessity for mankind. ‘It’s about believing in the future and thinking that the future will be better than the past. And I can’t think of anything more exciting than going out there and being among the stars,’ he wrote on SpaceX’s website.

Once the realm of science fiction, Musk, NASA and even Jeff Bezos are turning their heads to the Red Planet. Plans are in place for humans to land on Mars by 2024.

SPEAKING ABOUT DESTINY, DID YOU KNOW THAT VON BRAUN’S 1953 BOOK “MARS PROJECT,” REFERENCED A PERSON NAMED ELON THAT WOULD BRING HUMANS TO MARS? PRETTY NUTS PIC.TWITTER.COM/M28YFU4IP6

Back in December last year, the Tesla CEO tweeted: ‘Destiny, destiny. No escaping that for me,’ a popular line from Gene Wilder’s Young Frankenstein. ‘Speaking about destiny, did you know that Von Braun’s 1953 book Mars Project, referenced a person named Elon that would bring humans to Mars? Pretty nuts,’ one user replied.

Project Mars: A Technical Tale was written by Wernher von Braun, a German-born American aerospace engineer and space architect who earlier worked in Nazi Germany’s rocket development program. He once described Hitler as ‘a pompous fool with a Charlie Chaplin moustache’ and ‘a godless man who thought himself the only god.’
