10 TV Shows Which Eerily Predicted The Future
1. Star Trek - The Moon Landing
On 20 July 1969, mankind walked on the surface of the moon for the first time, and that turned out to be a giant leap for Star Trek since it confirmed the show's writers as the most prophetic in television at the time.
During the 1967 episode Tomorrow Is Yesterday, the Enterprise time hops and Uhura picks up a radio transmission from NASA which mentions that a manned mission to the moon is due to depart Cape Kennedy on Wednesday.
Apollo 11 blasted off from that very same base on a Wednesday in 1969 - Star Trek even earned bonus points for getting the day of the week right.
Cape Kennedy was a well-known NASA hub, so it will have been easy to deduce that a manned moon mission would depart from there, but the show's writers deserve credit for this nevertheless.
