So who knows, 100-200 years for the nano age to revelutionize the world in some pretty amazing ways, and maybe space folding, wormhole travel 200-400 years?
We need a way to get there quickly without wasting 40 years for a round trip.

Here's something that I learned but don't ask for the technical reasons behind it because I don't really know.
If you travelled at light speed, time would slow down for you, so even though it took you 40 years to get there and back and you would age 40 years, hundreds of years would have passed on earth.
