That's the snag. Unless we do stumble across some fundamentally new physics that allows faster than light travel, moving from one end of the milky way to the other will take more than 100,000 years. If we do manage to move across the milky way at light speed, there are other problems like you arriving a few years older but your kids back home died of old age centuries or millennias ago.

I'm looking fwd to seeing the video it captured during landing. What an engineering feat.
