james_davis_nicollThe Martian Chronicles
This adapts the following into a series of short vignettes:
"Rocket Summer": Climate change, rocket-style
"Ylla": A Martian woman dreams of the touch of an Earth man. Her husband turns out not to be into netorare.
"—And the Moon Be Still as Bright": The Earthmen learn that a previous expedition brought chicken pox to Mars, something the Martians have no resistance to. Reactions to this vary.
"The Shore": Humans settle on Mars en masse.
"The Off-Season": An entrepreneur's grand plan for his hot dog stand on Mars are sabotaged by global thermonuclear war on Earth.
"The Watchers": Most of the humans head back to the dying Earth for some reason.
"There Will Come Soft Rains": used as a frame for
"The Million-Year Picnic": In this version the family that gets incinerated in the original version of "There Will Come Soft Rains" instead flees to Mars, where the father seems hopeful that they will form the basis of the new population there.
Interesting creative decision to cram so many stories into just 30 minutes.
