The problem with interstellar space travel is that by the time you get somewhere, it is no longer ‘there’.

Not if you condense space and get there at relative speeds far in excess of the speed of light. That’s the whole idea, if every minute you can “move” through one squished light then your destination won’t have done much in the way of drifting, couple inches maybe, but you’re not warping that close.
