SF author Bradbury talks on Space Age Science fiction author Ray Bradbury will speak in the MiraCosta College gym at 8 p.m. Tuesday. The lecture is a bicentennial event co-sponsored by Palomar and MiraCosta. Bradbury, best known for his many science fiction stories, novels and plays, will speak on "The Space Age as a Creative Challenge." Having warned audiences several years ago that "we're going to have to think about the unthinkable," the prodigious author and non-stop talker has since defined his own role as advocate for scientific progress. "Scientists tend to tell their story in a way that doesn't invoke the enthusiasm of the public," Bradbury says. "I excite people and appeal to their romantic instincts. I take the bare facts and explode them." His own enthusiasm is unbounded and his faith in the future is equaled

by his faith in people. "People are beautiful, fantastic fools and they will respond," he exclaimed. "Practically all of the scientists who have accomplished the hard scientific realities started out as romantic adherents of Jules Veme and Edgar Rice Burroughs. It is through poetry and plays and romantic fiction that people can be reached and led to the hard verities of the cosmic evolution." Bradbury, 51, has written The Martian Chronicles, Fahrenheit 451 and The Illustrated Man, all novels which have subsequently become movies. His more than 300 short stories have appeared in 14 books. A full-length stage play, Leviathan '99 was produced in 1972 and he has published a book of poems, When Elephants Last In the Dooryard Bloomed.
