Ray Bradbury's Reasons to Go to Mars

Posted by Hemos on from the interesting-reading-at-least dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Ray Bradbury's testimony to the Presidential blue-ribbon Commission, 'Moon to Mars and Beyond', covers a range of rather optimistic space-related topics, including why three Italians should be the first on Mars. But at age 83, Bradbury's next book, entitled 'Too Soon From the Cave, Too Far From the Stars' seems to set an overall vision that this is an in-between generation caught between the brutal and primitive and the advanced."

    ... why would you even bother reading this banal junk? Just check out the rest of their site. Most of it's garbage!

    I'm afraid Mr. Bradbury is out of his gourd! The whole 'three Italians' idea is a little too much symbolism for me. The only good reason to send some Italians to Mars first is so that there will be pizza ready by the time the rest of us get there. :)
