I remember these. The film goes on to spend time with Bradbury as he works on a new story, riding his bike across a bleak section of his neighborhood in Venice, California.

Ray Bradbury Remembered: NASA Pays Video Tribute to Sci-Fi Legend. NASA has released two videos from its archives to pay tribute to famed science-fiction author and space visionary Ray Bradbury, who died Tuesday (June 5) at the age of 91. The two short videos, which date from 1971 and 2009, were released Wednesday (June 6) and Thursday, respectively. The older clip shows Bradbury at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena on Nov. 12, 1971, participating in a symposium to celebrate the arrival of NASA's Mariner 9 probe in orbit around Mars the next day. It would have been nice to be in that audience, and not just because of Mariner 9's historic accomplishment (it was the first spacecraft ever to orbit another planet).
Onstage with Bradbury were fellow sci-fi legend Arthur C. Clarke, journalist Walter Sullivan and scientists Carl Sagan and Bruce Murray. The poem, which begins at the 2:20 mark of the video, ends with these lines: "Short man, large dream. Hoping an inch of good is worth a pound of years, We’ve reached Alpha Centauri!
