They should keep the original dates in scifi stories so old guys like me can feel something when they pass.

yeah, it feels real dumb to keep moving stuff forward, as if *that* specific date was what it was about

it got changed to August 4th 2026 when it was included in THE MARTIAN CHRONICLES (which is absolutely one of the greatest short story collections of all time), and THEN it got changed LATER in a 90s edition of the same collection, pushed up to the 2050s
