Book Written In 1953 Mentions Elon Musk Putting Humans On Mars

This is something out of the Twilight Zone and maybe just a coincidence but it makes for a good trip. So the back story is that a German turned American scientist wrote this book back in 1953. The title of the book is 'The Mars Project' and it takes place in the 1980 and then there is a leader who governs on Mars. Is it a coincidence? We will never know but Elon Musk did reply.
