Nah, it's not a big problem really. All you gotta go is discover FTL travel.

You can't go faster than light and it still wouldn't solve the time dilation problem.

The nearest planet is like five light years away. I don't think our civilization will die out in five years, Anon.

As long as we can agree the nearest planet is not 5 light years away I'm okay with that.

I read a short story about this once
Basically a trading ship visits Earth on a 10 000 year loop and every time they return to their home planet (not Earth, they are aliens) or another planet on their trade loop, the crew has to spend several years learning the new language and cultural norms and explaining who the fuck they are before they can start trading
I think it's mentioned that they often return to previous trading partners, find that the planet has been blasted back to the stone age, and then just keep going to the next one without stopping.

Mercury is also a great target for expeditions because it is perfectly safe on the night side as long as you leave before dawn, and it's got an absurdly high concentration of metals and heavy elements

If the shitshow that was the Mars colony crowdfunding startup showed us, it's that there are plenty of morons who are ready to die in space simply because they don't know better

I am now remembering that the aliens have pills that they can use to teach other aliens their language and the story is told from the POV of a bartender who is given one of these pills
