“The problem is slowing down.”

Good point. By my rough math you would be travelling at about 50 million miles an hour by the time you reach Alpha Centauri 100 years from now.

You’d barely have time to take a picture out the window.

The article hints that there is no conservation of momentum, so start/stop acceleration may not be a problem.
