We are not far technologicalwise from building ship that could go 1% the speed of light if we would spend the money and the effort, which we won't. Not hard to imagine a civilization 1000's of years more advanced, going 5% the speed of light or more. Now of course that still means a trip of a hundred years to the nearest star and that's a lot for HUMANS, but whose to say some alien civilization they live for 1000 years? Hell if tortoises can live for 200 years why can't aliens live for 1000?
