Captain Joachim, after some damage to his ship:
"'We can live off preserved stuff if we must, but green vegetables from an E-planet would help morale until we get our own tanks producing again.'" (p. 119)
Every terrestroid planet is going to grow vegetables that can just be collected and eaten? Like a sea-going ship arriving at a new island on Earth? I think that we can predict that the universe is not going to be that hospitable. But we appreciate earlier and later stages of speculative fiction.
Every future history series implies an entire different parallel universe, each with its own norms and expectations. Contrast the Psychotechnic History and the same author's much later Genesis.
I am watching the TV evening news. Are we fit to venture into the universe? Do interstellar instances protect other intelligent species from us?
