Legendary rocket scientist's 1949 science fiction novel features a Martian leader named... Elon!

In 1949, pioneering rocket scientist Wernher von Braun penned a science fiction story called “Project Mars: A Technical Tale” about a human migration to Mars in the 1980s.

Probably just as well that Nazi scientists won’t be leading the real expedition. It might make for a bad first impression with the Martians.
