X-Minus One - "And the Moon Be Still as Bright" a Classic Sci-Fi Radio Drama.
Step back in time with us as we dive into one of the most iconic episodes of the classic science fiction radio series, X-Minus One. Today, we present "And the Moon Be Still as Bright," an adaptation of Ray Bradbury's story from "The Martian Chronicles."" In this suspense-filled episode, Earthmen reach Mars only to discover a chilling scene — the entire Martian civilization has been wiped out by chickenpox, a disease brought inadvertently from Earth. The crew, led by Captain Wilder, grapples with the ethical implications of their presence on a now desolate Mars. One crew member's outrage at the destruction of Martian artifacts leads to a profound discussion about humanity's role in the cosmos and our responsibility towards other cultures, even those we might consider extinct.

Adaptation of Ray Bradbury's Work: Experience the eerie beauty of Bradbury's vision through the auditory storytelling of radio drama.
Thought-Provoking Themes: Reflect on themes of colonial impact, cultural preservation, and the moral dilemmas of exploration. Classic Radio Drama: Enjoy the era's sound effects, voice acting, and storytelling that have made "X-Minus One" a legendary show in the genre of sci-fi.
