A fictional story of the future world, describing the life of “rocket men and women” (people from Earth who have come to planet Venus to set up a civilisation) on Venus.

According to Bradbury, the Sun appears for only two hours after a phase of 7 years of continuous rain on Venus, which is totally fictional. The children on this planet wait for the Sun to come out; especially Margot.

The irony in this story is—it rains for seven years on Venus; which is entirely opposite to the actual climate of the planet—with a roasting temperature of 800 degrees Fahrenheit.
