@Gplittle: Thanks for adding this section. I've expanded it a little and added a few references. It could do with a little more work. —Bruce1ee^talk 16:15, 10 May 2021 (UTC)

Source 15 contains no reference to Elon Musk's father turning the comment spurious. 174.21.67.171 (talk) 05:50, 27 January 2025 (UTC)

Nevermind, the correct link, 16, does. No change needed. 174.21.67.171 (talk) 05:52, 27 January 2025 (UTC)

How was Errol Musk “aware” of this if the book wasn’t published until 2006? 2603:7000:B800:599:14D0:62E8:A8E:2622 (talk) 22:53, 27 January 2025 (UTC)

Agreed. I also question the reliability of cited source, mind-war.com. —Bruce1ee^talk 23:15, 27 January 2025 (UTC)

Hoax

There is no german version ever published of this book. The public available version of this book contains eminent failures like Hohann von Goethe instead of Johann...what makes me suggest that this entire story with the Elon on Mars is a hoax and this book itself is mocked up...like "later found". 109.51.136.162 (talk) 10:01, 15 December 2024 (UTC)

Do you have any reliable sources supporting your claim that this is a hoax? Von Braun wrote the novel in German in the late 1940s, and it was translated into English in 1950, long before Elon Musk was born. See the Publication history section in the article. —Bruce1ee^talk 11:08, 15 December 2024 (UTC)
