I read the first edition, and that may have had more martian interaction than the later version. Having 2 versions is confusing. However it must have been important enough for Bradbury to increase the dates and add or take away stories. I remember 2 stories where the martians were gone in the older version. Still their impact was felt even though they were gone. The story that had the last expedition tossing empty wine bottles into the canals without any regard to the place they were, really made me think that the martians left just in time. Soon Mars would look like earth. Same problems different planet.
