Carl Sagan’s Cosmos touches on the same subject. With technology not much more advanced than today, humans could be exploring other star systems within a single human life span subjective time. However, they would not return to the same world they left, because of time dilation.

Read Fallen Angles, by Niven. Reporters are issuing news reports saying beware of 2 escaped astronauts because they possess super-human strength, showing footage of them moving steel girders bare handed in zero gravity as proof.
