Must be slick. Must be slippery. Must be smooth.

GO BACK IN TIME BEFORE YOU LEAVE... ARRIVE INSTANTLY.
The JUMP DRIVE.

Okay, let's say you take 3 days at maximum thrust to reach the moon in Normal Physics.

Go to space, stop time
Reverse time so you're traveling at minimum thrust velocity while traveling through space.

Since "TIME IS NO PRICE", fuel becomes very cheap. No, really, think about it. You only have to engage in minimum thrust to reach the moon if you know you'll always reach it "in time" no matter how slow you move through space.

Let's say you set your rocket thrust at the velocity of a morbidly obese preschooler riding a tricycle dragging a 200 pound barbell. Or about the speed of a snail dragging a brick by a wire 1 inch per year distance displacement. If it takes you 10000 years to reach the moon at that velocity, you take once per decade blink intervals of a few seconds for computer course corrections in realtime, but go back 10000 years before you left to travel to the moon. When you arrive, almost no realtime has passed for you, the moon is now in front of you nearly instantly.

Because you went at slowest possible thrust, you still have absurd amounts of unspent rocket fuel to use as you please. Because once you do the initial thrust kick, space itself will only slow you by gravity and collisions.

See how much faster you can go if "speed of light" is no longer a calculator factor in distance traveled.

You could, stop time using conventional physics by cryogenics or reduce to crew to a stable polymer matter slurry to be reconstituted at the destination. But everyone else is still living in realtime wherever you arrive. More advanced form is STOP TIME within the spacecraft, you travel through space, but the human crew doesn't get older. Only the computer takes pokes out of the time stop bubble to do minute course correction using minimal fuel.

Realistically, how long until we can have stuff like pic related, if ever?
