So here's some good news for people who are into that idea - back in the 1940s, a scientist 'predicted' that he would lead us there. Well, sort of. The manuscript for a book titled The Mars Project has been shared on social media, with people making the link between one key line and tech billionaire Elon Musk, who is at the forefront of the human effort to travel to the Red Planet. Written by German scientist Wernher von Braun in 1948, the book is essentially a technical specification for the mechanics of life and society on Mars, explaining how it could work.
