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?
And not to mention medical science. As you may have seen in sci-fi movies, freeze down the body and defrost it years later in same health.

Or even more sci-fi, but not impossible; somehow your mind and soul must be programmed in your brain. If we developed computers that could leech it, store it, and insert it to a young clone of yourself. Neverending life. THAT would be freaky
