Soar above the fossil seas and crystal pillars of a dead world in the pages of Ray Bradbury’s The Martian Chronicles. A milestone of American literature, Bradbury’s classic collection of interconnected vignettes about life on the red planet diverges from the War of the Worlds theme, in which humanity must defend its shores against its neighbors, for in Bradbury’s prismatic vision, humanity is the conqueror, colonizing Mars to escape an Earth devastated by atomic war and environmental catastrophe.

A collection of stories about the Mars colonization. They're presented in a chronological order, from the first rocked launching to the post-apocalyptic life on earth. Some are good, a few really good.
The first stories are a bit comical and witty. They talk about how the first missions failed somewhat due to human eagerness to receive a heroes welcome when arriving in mars. No one there seemed to care.
to be continued
Great collection of short stories/chapters regarding humans travel to Mars. Very interesting read.
