Ray Bradbury wrote today\u2019s story in 1947. It first appeared in the Spring edition of Planet Stories magazine. Bradbury was one of the best-known writers of our time. He was a master storyteller, a champion of creative freedom, and a space-age visionary. His most noteworthy works include The Martian Chronicles, Farenheit 451, and Something Wicked This Way Comes.

In 2008, a digitized copy of The Martian Chronicles reached the Red Planet in 2008, aboard NASA\u2019s Phoenix Mars Lander. Bradbury\u2019s remarks on the subject were:

\u201cThe thing that makes me happy is that I know that on Mars, two hundred years from now, my books are going to be read. They\u2019ll be up on dead Mars with no atmosphere. And late at night, with a flashlight, some little boy is going to peek under the covers and read The Martian Chronicles on Mars.\u201d
