As Einstein's Theory of Relativity states, objects that travel near the speed of light have a different rate of time. You could theoretically travel to the Andromeda Galaxy in a person's lifetime if the spaceship was traveling close to the speed of light, even though people on Earth would experience a time of millions of years.

Yeah, and the likelihood is when they got there they'd be the last humans in existence, so basically we'd be sending out the last humans in existence and that is only if there is sentient life in Galaxy, what if all other sentient life is on the other side of the universe, even in relativistic ships, everyone would be dead by the time that trip was made. Relativistic travel isn't a feasible form of long range space travel.

What other forms of space travel are there?
Relativistic travel is actually quite convienent, we can send humans long distances without having to sustain the ship for a long period of time.
