Sounds like it could be (without looking). The story evolves that our hero
devises a scheme to rid the world of morons by starting a program to
colonize Mars. Of course, the rockets never reach Mars, but the fake mail
and tall tales keep the rockets full of volunteers. Right at about the
point where the whole scheme succeeds, our hero finds himself shanghaied on
such a rocket...
