Comment(s):

The non-flashback portions of this story take place in the 25th Century.

The interstellar ships shown in flashback can reach faster-than-lights speeds (to Centauri in a month).

Noted in this story that Centauri (not known which star) and Sirius were uninhabited by the time of the flashback in this story.
