Urban Red Planet: Human Habitats On Mars

Quote
Most space scientists, sociologists and sci-fi writers agree: when humankind finally sets down roots somewhere other than the planet of our birth, Mars is our most likely destination. Chilly, lifeless (as far as we know) and frighteningly far away, Mars still offers the best hope for a human race whose figurative eggs have been kept in one basket for far too long.

One of my favourite Ray Bradbury stories is Homecoming which he wrote as long ago as 1946.  It still brings tears to my eyes!

It's included in a 1960's anthology called "Stories for Tomorrow" by William F Sloane.  Abe books are bound to have a copy.  The other stories are terrific too!
