"a craft faster than the speed of light will be..."
Well, yes and no. I think cryogentic storage could get a living man there. We could also send wave after wave of supplies and materials with the intelligence to fly into orbit in preparation for our arrival in 10,000 years. We could also sidle up to a black hole, orbiting it during its progress through the galaxy, and find ourselves very far from our origin without aging very much because of relativistic gobbly-gook (I read something about this in a book by Robert Forward). Always have hope.
"... without aging very much"
That would apply to the travelor but not to his wife and kids - right? In order to get there and get back without missing your kids funeral we have to go really fast.
