Famed science fiction author Ray Bradbury has died at age 91. Bradbury was also an early advocate of space exploration. His The Martian Chronicles, a classic of science fiction, takes a more poetic, philosophical approach to mankind's first contact with extraterrestrials than many such stories more focused on engineering and science. Bradbury wrote short stories, novels, plays, and screenplays.
Bradbury once said he wanted to be the first person buried on Mars. With any luck, his remains could be taken there in two or three decades. Given that he would've played a role in bringing that historic flight about, honoring his wish might be appropriate.
