umm...there is no air in space. thats why you can't yell in space, or hear anything in space, or breathe in space. there is no friction in space, thus space is a vaccuum.
the only dangerous parts are the accelleration and deceleration. if you gradually accellerate to 99% speed of light, and travel that for 50 years, there is no problem with that..
Frankly i dont see why we take one mans writings as the universal unchallenged stardards. I mean yes, Eistien was a brilliant man, but why must what he wrote be the only thing science accepts. Its nice to see "modern" science challenge some "set" ideas.
Einstein didn't say it was impossible. Almost nothing is.
