The nearest star is a little over four light YEARS away. So, if a voyager traveled AT the speed of light, it would take more than four years to get there, and the same to return - for the traveller. On Earth, much more time would pass.

I would be surprised if the speed of light turns out to be the ultimate limitation to travel. If it does prove to be just that, then I suspect its by design.
