The first three expeditions to Mars left Earth in a mushroom of flames arched through the atmosphere and finally dwindled to tiny specks on the big eye of mount pelimars telescope and then were lost to the eye altogether. Prearranged landing signals flashed back to Earth and the radios went dead. One after the other ships had disappeared and were never heard of again. But still the rockets came. The fourth expedition emerged from the silent gulfs of faith and angled down towards the floating red bits of Mars down into orbit as the order came to land. A story by Ray Bradbury which is the same as the one done by Dimension X and broadcast 1950.09.29.
