A runaway greenhouse effect has heated the planet’s surface to a smoldering 470˚ CelsiusWell, it's not the heat, it's the humidity....
To: BenLurkin
I think I’ll pass on that.
470 degrees C is a little too tropical for my tastes.

Actually, “The Long Rain” was written by Bradbury. I am a big fan of Asimov as well (and Paul Anderson, Philip K. Dick, Arthur C. Clarke, Frederick Pohl, Jules Verne, H. G. Wells, et centera ad infnitum....).

Oops.
My favorite of Bradbury’s is “The Dragon”.

Back in the 1950s, as a teenager, I was on Mars with Bradbury (”The Martian Chronicles”), and on Venus with Heinlein (”Between Planets”). Me too.
And I remember Orson Welles' Mars Invasion on Mercury Theater in '38.
I had listened to the program on radio (War of the Worlds), and was amazed to see pictures of New Jersey residents hunkering out in the fields with rifles in the next day's newspaper. News didn't travel fast in those days.
