53

This number is a prime.

Jules [Gabriel] Verne, "The Father of Science Fiction" and a major figure of literature in France, set "From the Earth to the Moon" in 1869, exactly 100 years before the first human Moon landing. He correctly had the launch from Florida, and splashdown in the ocean. 53 years after his death, the 1958 film "From the Earth to the Moon" directed by Raoul Walsh was released. [Post]
