It is amazing, actually, the realism in the story. The talk of space suits and magnetic boots to stay attached to things with no gravity. There were also some funny retro things like communicating between ships using a heliograph signal mirror (instead of radio) and paper logs - no mention of computers obviously. I was surprised to see the word astronaut used also, in such an early scifi book. While I was surprised to see the author talk about needing magnetic boots due to no gravity, later in the book a rocket he is on seems to have gravity. He doesn't really say so, but he describes walking and climbing, and a dog jumping up on him, etc. Towards the end though, there is mention of "gravity plates" which when turned off eliminates the gravity.All in all, this was a pretty good story for its day. I enjoyed it. It was good sci fi that wasn't really too corny like a lot of old sci-fi seems these days.I'll give it 5-stars for being ahead of its time!

Williamson's SALVAGE IN SPACE By Susan Jack Williamson was an old family friend and I was fortunate to have had a class he taught at Eastern New Mexico U. An amazing man and of course I love all his writings. This one was a typical Williamson full of crazy and wonderful science fiction.

A 30-Page Pulp-Era Story from a Grand Master of Science Fiction By Clark Hallman Salvage in Space, by Jack Williamson, was first published in the March (1933) issue of Astounding Stories. It is an enjoyable short story in the space-opera genre from the legendary science fiction author. Thad Allen, a meteor miner, has worked long lonely weeks in space collecting pieces and particles of iron and other valuable metals, which he welds onto the ball of metal that he refers to as the smallest planet in the solar system. He lives, sleeps and works on the ball of metal that he has constructed with only his space suit to protect him from the hostile environment of space and his magnetic boots to keep him from floating away. He is disappointed by the small amount of valuable metal that he has collected to sell for salvage and his supplies are running low, which means he will need to return to Earth very soon. Amazingly, he spots a large shiny object moving through space, which could be very lucrative for him if he can intercept it and manage to get it to port. The small rocket he attached to his ball of metal enables him to rendezvous with the object. However, his joy turns to terror once he begins trying to retrieve his salvage bonanza. This thirty-page story is a fun read, with lots of interesting science fiction and some life-threatening suspense and action.
