The Apollo 11 Moon landing brought out a fair degree of, shall we say, fanciful predictions for the future of space exploration from a number of science fiction writers, including Ray Bradbury.

After leaving Frost’s “party,” he took a taxi to CBS’s studio, where the author was interviewed by Mike Wallace. “This is an effort to become immortal,” Bradbury proclaimed. How? “We’re going to take our seed out into space and we’re going to plant it on other worlds and then we won’t have to ask ourselves the question of death ever again.”
