Fans are convinced The Simpson’s predicted Richard Branson journey to space, here’s the proof

After Branson’s stint in space, a picture from the episode named ‘The Burn and The Bees’ in Season 20, featuring an astronaut enjoying zero gravity in a space shuttle, is making rounds on the internet. Fans of the sitcom are convinced it the one of the series’ rather spooky foretelling as the astronaut featured in the cartoon had an uncanny resemblance to Branson.

It was Twitter user Aditya Kondawar who shared a picture of Branson juxtaposed to a picture of the Simpsons episode, predicting Branson’s space journey on Twitter.“How can The Simpsons show predict every Damn thing”, Kondawar wrote, sharing the picture on the microblogging site.

Many were impressed with the sitcom’s eerily spot-on predictions and came with their own speculations about the same. Take a look at some of the reactions here:

Or may be Simpson inspired people to do the things he predicted 🙂

Perhaps Sir Richard Branson must be a fan of the show and shared his dream…😇🧐🙏✌️

The point is what else it has predicted so that we can get better prepared for the future

I guess its the other way around

Rich people watch Simpsons and then make their TODO list.

I think their writers showed every kind of (wild) imagination, which we are now turning to reality.

It is also interesting to note that Branson has had cameo appearances in the show, for episodes “The War of Art,” “The Burns and the Bees,” “Loan-a Lisa,”.

The 71-year-old jetted off to space, in a rather ambitious project and called it a magical experience. He also recorded a special message to children from space and shared it on social media, encouraging them to never stop dreaming.
