On August 22, 2003, Ray (Martian Chronicles) Bradbury turns 83 years old. To honor the man who has contributed so much to the world of science fiction, The Planetary Society wants to present our friend and Advisory Council member, Mr. Bradbury, with a giant birthday card - a card with "Happy Birthday" wishes from fans around the world.

I went to the celebration last night for this incredible man (he has a new book of essays coming out next year!) He spoke of the impact of Mars in hislife, I am hoping to grab some links to media coverage of it to post soon.
