You don't freeze dead humans and send them on a trip, you upload them and send their minds interstellar distances with a giant message laser...with a shitload of redundancy at the sending end and error checking at the other.

This is after you use Von Neumann probes (in this case, a few billion nanostarships accelerated to nearly the speed of light by an EM cannon, then decelerating by sacrificing a percentage of their infinitesimal mass) to first travel to and establish a Matrioshka brain base (a dwarf planet or moon will suffice) in the target system...and who, in turn, build another EM cannon and message laser, and more nanostarships. The uploads can then start exploring the new system in shape-shifting foglet bodies.

All this shit should be do-able in about a century. All that space boat Star Wars/Star Trek shit is Jules Verne-tier nonsense.
