And it is only one and a half lifetimes away traveling at the speed of light the whole time....Not for the actual travellers...

Really? I never considered that when it came to light speed travel. I guess it all goes to the relativity theory...Why wouldn’t travelers get younger traveling that fast? Or would they? Just curious...

Actually, according to the Time Dilation theory (T=t/√(1-v^2/c^2)), the travelers would get their in around 127+ years if they approached 99.9% of light speed. While the travelers observe 127 years pass, those who stayed behind would observe around 2800 years pass.

I think I calculated that wrong. Around 850 years would pass for those who stayed behind.
