I don't care what the science fiction trade technicians say, either. They are furious that I get away with murder. I use a scientific idea as a platform to leap into the air and never come back. This keeps them angry at me. They still begrudge my putting an atmosphere on Mars in The Martian Chronicles more than 40 years ago.

 
Ray Bradbury

I refuse to rot like my contemporaries
I want to explode in a karaoke supernova
I don't wanna grow old
Won't you let me, won't you let me explode?
