@todayilearned Today I learned that Wernher von Braun (of Nazi Rocket Scientist infamy) wrote a sci-fi novel about Mars colonisation. In 1971 a South African racist named his son after the book’s Martian Leader: Elon

A literal Space Nazi writes a book in which the ruler of Mars (albeit democratically elected) is called “Elon”, after whom Errol Musk’s next loin turd is named, and said loin turd is obsessed with Mars. And being a Nazi.
What. A. Coincidence.
