About this episode

This episode discusses Ray Bradbury's 'Rocket Summer', exploring the implications of futuristic technology and space travel.

Taken from Bradbury's novel, 'Rocket Summer' takes a futuristic look (from 1947 to future) at a businessman who spends two years designing a rocket which can take men to the moon but cancels the mission within a few days of the launch, fearing that this new technology will bring more problems than good to the world.
