Jules Verne made some lucky predictions too. He had his projectile being fired from around the same area as where the shuttles have taken off for the last 30 yrs. And by chance the name of the projectile and one of the shuttles are very close. Someone has to occasionally get something right when writing about what the future will be like I think. Star Trek did the same thing. They extrapolated some future inventions based on what was then known. So where Kirk had his communicator we have the cell phone etc.
