Interstellar travel is perfectly possible if you're not in a hurry.
Interstellar travel is perfectly possible if you're not in a hurry. Assuming there's no way to sidestep GR, the real problem is the human lifespan (and attention span.) If our culture moved at 0.1% of the current rate and we lived a thousand times as long, a 1400 year round trip wouldn't be problematic. It's possible to imagine low-energy lifeforms that move that slowly. But they wouldn't be looking for Earth-like planets to colonise - they'd be looking for much colder and more stable locations. And we wouldn't be looking for the right spectroscopic signals to give them away, because we don't know what they are.
