I just want to explore the universe but without FTL spaceships I would need to stay alive for a very long time
:deeper-sadness:
Still even at a ship traveling at 0.9c the relativistic time dialation/length contraction will have you (an on board observer) experience a lets say 10 light years journey as taking place over somewhat less than 5 years. 0.99c will drop you to 1.5 years of "experienced’ time. Huge difference but not enough for most stuff still
