Meals served in staterooms charged extra.
Hostility is not apprehended from any great planet, but we have thought it best to err on the safe side, and therefore have provided a proper number of mortars, siege-guns, and boarding-pikes.

History shows that small, isolated communities, such as the people of remote islands, are prone to be hostile to strangers, and so the same may be the case with THE INHABITANTS OF STARS of the tenth or twentieth magnitude.

We shall in no case wantonly offend the people of any star, but shall treat all alike with urbanity and kindliness, never conducting ourselves toward an asteroid after a fashion which we could not venture to assume toward Jupiter or Saturn.

I repeat that we shall not wantonly offend any star; but at the same time we shall promptly resent any injury that may be done us, or any insolence offered us, by parties or governments residing in any star in the firmament.
Although averse to the shedding of blood, we shall still hold this course rigidly and fearlessly, not only toward single stars, but toward constellations.

We shall hope to leave a good impression of America behind us in every nation we visit, from Venus to Uranus.
