Awww! So charmingly retro. It is! It's funny in context, because the worldbuilding otherwise really is skillful and consistent. I expect thirty years from now people will be saying the same thing about technology in novels written now. (And who knows? If an enemy shot from the opposing spaceship knocks all your electronics out, the pneumatic tubes presumably still work.)
