‘Steerage No. 1 is virtually in the eyes of the vessel, and runs clear across from one side to the other, without a partition. It is lighted entirely by port-holes, under which, fixed to the stringers, are narrow tables with benches before them. The remaining space is filled with iron bunks, row after row, tier upon tier, all running fore and aft in double banks. A thin iron rod is all that separates one sleeper from another. In each bunk are placed "a donkey's breakfast" (a straw mattress), a blanket of the horse variety, a battered tin plate and pannikin, a knife, a fork, and a spoon. This completes the emigrant's "kit," which in former days had to be found by himself.’ “Steerage Conditions in 1898 - A First-Hand Account” By H. Phelps Whitmarsh, Century Magazine, February 1898 http://www.maggieblanck.com/Immigration.html

‘Next, the Smiths dropped in at Solar Federation, Inc. to buy space-ship tickets. The cost was surprisingly moderate, and the children, of course, would travel for half fare. ... They took space on the Diana - a new luxury ship advertised as the Queen of Space.’
Vacation and resort spots were plentiful, their luxury rivaling anything on earth. Mr. Smith chose one of these and space-cabled for reservations. It was called Phosphorus Valley, and was said to have a superior golf course and silver mineral springs.’
‘Cities and towns had sprung up on Venus, since industrialists had been quick to develop the rich resources of the planet. Wonder plastics were cheaply produced from the endless chains of formaldehyde particles... and strange new metals and gems had been discovered. ➡️
