Ray Bradbury touches down on Mars. One of Ray Bradbury's most enduring books explores a future version of Mars colonized by humans. Sixty-two years after the publication of The Martian Chronicles, the late author's fiction came one step closer to becoming fact when the the Curiosity rover touched down on Mars. Now, NASA has announced that they will name Curiosity's landing site Bradbury Landing
after the science fiction writer. The news of Bradbury's enshrinement
on the red planet came through Curiosity's Twitter feed. "In tribute, I
dedicate my landing spot on Mars to you, Ray Bradbury. Greetings from Bradbury Landing!" the rover tweeted yesterday, on what would've been Bradbury's 92nd birthday.
