That happened in Babylon 5 when the Earth Alliance was taken over by a dictatorship.

German legendary rock scientist Wernher von Braun has already been to the future and wrote a book about it:

The governor of Mars will be entitled "Elon". I'm assuming to honor the first governor of Mars, Elon Musk?

Is that for real? From the father of the A4/V2 and grandfather of Saturn V/Apollo, no less.

OMG all credit goes to you. Probably it was here that I saw it first, but had forgotten it was here...

Anyway since likely reality is a Closed Timelike Curve there really isn't any being first, just what seems like the future to you or to me

I love that book. The revolution would have failed too, if it weren't for benevolent AI gaining sentience on the rebel's side

Very cool! Thanks for finding that. Also read the pre-cursor to that one (which is linked in the article): BBC - Future - How to create a bill of rights for Mars colonies

I had no idea someone was actually working on these things.
