1
00:00:30,700 --> 00:00:26,200
I don't know what the hell I'm doing

2
00:00:34,140 --> 00:00:30,710
here I'm the least scientific of all the

3
00:00:36,970 --> 00:00:34,150
people up on the platform here today

4
00:00:41,860 --> 00:00:36,980
nine-year-old boys are always finding me

5
00:00:44,260 --> 00:00:41,870
out a ten-year-old boy a few years ago

6
00:00:46,390 --> 00:00:44,270
ran up to me is that mr. Bradbury I said

7
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:46,400
yes he says that book of yours the

8
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:48,530
Martian Chronicles I said yes he says on

9
00:00:55,270 --> 00:00:52,489
page 92 he says where you have the moons

10
00:01:05,399 --> 00:00:55,280
of Mars rising in the east I say yes he

11
00:01:05,409 --> 00:01:17,320
so I hit him

12
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:19,900
I was hoping that during the last few

13
00:01:25,210 --> 00:01:23,210
days as we got closer to Mars and the

14
00:01:27,130 --> 00:01:25,220
dust cleared when we see a lot of

15
00:01:43,630 --> 00:01:27,140
Martians standing there with huge sign

16
00:01:45,700 --> 00:01:43,640
saying Bradbury was right along - though

17
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:45,710
I'm going to keep this short because I'd

18
00:01:50,380 --> 00:01:47,450
much rather listen to our scientific

19
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:50,390
friends here today tell us about what's

20
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:52,490
coming up this week but I've every time

21
00:01:56,710 --> 00:01:54,170
I get a group of people together and

22
00:02:00,390 --> 00:01:56,720
have them trapped in a pile like this I

23
00:02:02,980 --> 00:02:00,400
bring a poem say and you can't escape me

24
00:02:05,380 --> 00:02:02,990
but luckily it's a short poem but it

25
00:02:07,390 --> 00:02:05,390
sums up some of my feelings on why I

26
00:02:09,790 --> 00:02:07,400
love space travel why I write science

27
00:02:12,820 --> 00:02:09,800
fiction why I'm intrigued with what's

28
00:02:16,090 --> 00:02:12,830
going on this weekend of Mars and part

29
00:02:18,730 --> 00:02:16,100
of this has my philosophy about space

30
00:02:21,250 --> 00:02:18,740
travel and initial permit or read it to

31
00:02:23,350 --> 00:02:21,260
you it's very very short the fence we

32
00:02:26,290 --> 00:02:23,360
walked between the years that balance us

33
00:02:28,090 --> 00:02:26,300
serene was a place half in the sky we're

34
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:28,100
in the green of leaf and promising of

35
00:02:33,070 --> 00:02:30,530
peach we'd reach our hand attention

36
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:33,080
almost touched the sky if we could reach

37
00:02:40,930 --> 00:02:36,170
and touch we set to teach us not to

38
00:02:43,270 --> 00:02:40,940
never to be dead we ate and almost

39
00:02:46,420 --> 00:02:43,280
touched that stuff our reach was never

40
00:02:49,540 --> 00:02:46,430
quite enough if only we had tire bin and

41
00:02:51,610 --> 00:02:49,550
touched God's cuff is his hem we would

42
00:02:54,699 --> 00:02:51,620
not have to go with them who've gone

43
00:02:57,670 --> 00:02:54,709
before who sure does us stood tiles they

44
00:02:59,890 --> 00:02:57,680
could stand and hope by stretching tell

45
00:03:02,340 --> 00:02:59,900
that they might keep their land their

46
00:03:05,229 --> 00:03:02,350
home their heart their flesh and soul

47
00:03:09,130 --> 00:03:05,239
but they like us for standing in a hole

48
00:03:12,190 --> 00:03:09,140
Oh Thomas will erase one day stand

49
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:12,200
really town across the void across the

50
00:03:17,410 --> 00:03:14,450
universe and all and measured out with

51
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:17,420
rocket fire at last put Adams finger

52
00:03:24,100 --> 00:03:20,570
forth as on the Sistine ceiling and

53
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:24,110
God's hand come down the other way to

54
00:03:28,370 --> 00:03:25,410
measure man

55
00:03:32,540 --> 00:03:28,380
find him good and gift him with forevers

56
00:03:36,140 --> 00:03:32,550
day I worked for that short man large

57
00:03:39,260 --> 00:03:36,150
dream I send my Rockets forth between my

58
00:03:41,930 --> 00:03:39,270
ears hoping an inch of good is worth a

59
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:41,940
pound of years aching to hear a voice

60
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:44,850
cried back along the universal mile
