"a two-month voyage"That's good. At least they don't have to come back and find out their families died thousands of years ago.

The reason for the short trip is because you actually accelerate during the entire trip. Right now, rockets are like a cannon, your final speed at engine cutoff is reached quickly and is all you have to work with.
A good side benefit is that the constant acceleration should mimic gravity, avoiding or significantly reducing a number of medical issues with mocrogravity travel.
