> Popularised by von Braun in his 1949 sci-fi novel, Project Mars
Von Braun's novel was written in 1949 but wasn't published until 2006. Perhaps the author means the technical appendix "The Mars Project" [0] which was published in 1952, which spawned a series of articles [1] in the popular magazine Collier's from 1952 to 1954.
