For the person traveling wouldn’t their time move much slower if we could get to 90% the speed of light? Exploration might be possible but it’s a one way mission where you’ll never see earth again
Even then you probably can’t get out of the Milky Way

90% wouldn't help much. It'd still take you almost 2 years to travel to Alpha Centauri. 99.999% would get you there in 3 weeks.

That time presupposes magical instantaneous acceleration and deceleration at the other end.
