'The Simpsons' Predicted Richard Branson's Space Flight In 2014

British billionaire Richard Branson successfully travelled to the edge of space and back on Sunday

The Simpsons has seemingly predicted the future several times in its three-decade run. The animated comedy series, currently on its 32nd season, has now been credited with foretelling Richard Branson's trip to space.  How can The Simpsons show predict every Damn thing? ???? pic.twitter.com/9wt3uSbiFh Richard Branson in 2014 on the Simpsons and Richard in SPACE yesterday ???????????? pic.twitter.com/LmsDFe019x The Simpsons predicted it… ???? British billionaire Richard Branson on Sunday successfully travelled to the edge of space and back aboard his Virgin Galactic rocket plane, winning the race to be the first person to cross the final frontier in a ship built by their own company. The billionaire had revealed he would be flying to space earlier this month in a surprise announcement - but it seems like the moment had been predicted on The Simpsons seven years ago. A scene from the long-running Fox show bears uncanny resemblance to visuals of Mr Branson floating inside his rocket that were released on Sunday. The scene, according to New York Post, appeared in the Season 25 episode "The War of Art" and features an animated Mr Branson hovering aboard a spaceship.
