Nope. Assuming that we don't find a way to effectively go super-luminal (a possibility I see as extremely unlikely), it's most likely that folks will, as a matter of conveninience, travel in suspended animation. Also, you can probably be saved by time-dilation, but I haven't the time to do any calculations on it. -- Adam Adam J.
