The writer who unwittingly predicted the future

If you are one of those who believe in destiny and consider that coincidences have a reason to be, you will be amazed when you know this interesting and incredible coincidence.

The science fiction writer that I guess the future

Lester del Rey was a youth science fiction writer quite popular in the United States.In one of his short novels he began telling the story with this phrase.

"The first spacecraft landed on the Moon and Commander Armstrong came out of it"

This would be nothing special if it wasn't because it was written fourteen years before that Apollo 11 landed on the Moon and therefore fourteen years before Neil Armstrong became the first human being to step on the surface of our satellite.

By Right, would you like to know what the ship on which the Armstrong of the novel was called? You will be surprised to know that his name was Apolon. Does it sound like something to you? The Apollo program began in 1960 but Lester del Rey had written this story in 1954.Are not too many coincidences?
