Prolific science future writer Ray Bradbury had a few things to share about today’s world. His words are political, frustrated, and a tinge desparate. While we agree with his thoughts on returning to the moon, Mars and the universe at large, we see a lot of angry old man shaking his cane at today’s youth in his words. That always makes it difficult to separate the useful wheat from the crazy chaff.
For example:
Useful Bradbury
“He[President Obama] should be announcing that we should go back to the moon,â€
“We should never have left there. We should go to the moon and prepare a base to fire a rocket off to Mars and then go to Mars and colonize Mars. Then when we do that, we will live forever.”
Crazy Bradbury
“We have too many cellphones. We’ve got too many Internets. We have got to get rid of those machines. We have too many machines now.â€
Bradbury says he’s not technology obsessive which is fine and good. Lots of people aren’t. We can’t help but wonder how humanity will ever reach the stars without massive amounts of proven technology. Unless he’s invented the fine art of “traveling without moving” we’re gonna need those machines for future use.

And now, hold on tight as we take a wild left turn. The following is a sexy pop music video about Ray Bradbury created by You Tuber racheldoesstuff . There’s no doubt Bradbury’s crazy old man rant was never meant to mix with this catchy NSFW tune. That’s just how we roll.
Our universe lives in dichotomy.
