I was assuming conventional propulsion at 95% c. An Alcubierre warp field would be ideal, assuming the problems can be overcome: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcubierre_drive#Difficulties http://arxiv.org/abs/1001.4960 http://arxiv.org/abs/1202.5708 I'd enjoy seeing your calculation of the number of years that would have passed on Earth for a round-trip of 100 light-years out.
