We send a spaceship on a 5 years journey where they use warp speed and they return 5 years later.

Whose five years - theirs or ours?

Time always goes normal, btw. Only that it is - well, relative... Their five years would have gone normal. Ours would have gone normal. For them, five years of their time would have felt normal to them, and for us five of our years also would have felt normal.Not before they and us meet again we ntoive that somehting is... is... - well, welcome to the magic that relativity does!

After five years of our time here on Earth, such an expedition still would not have gotten very far.
