Verb tenses
"I loved and greatly enjoyed my work, visiting exotic,strange and often primitive worlds and societies, but whenever I returned I felt the need to “ absorb a bit of Union ” as I called it."

As a sort of travelogue I would think the bits about Cunningham's own personality would read better in present tense: "I love and greatly enjoy my work, visiting exotic,strange and often primitive worlds and societies, but whenever I return I feel the need to “absorb a bit of Union” as I call it."

Cunningham is talking about his own motivations, and while they were true at the time he was going through the spaceport they are also presumably still true while writing the article. I do not want to change Cunningham's voice in this manner without discussing it first (This sentence is not the only one I would change in this way, merely indicative)..

Observations that are particular to a given situation should remain in past tense, as should descriptions of actions actually taken. It's only more general thoughts I think should be modified to the present.
