While time-dilation (which would allow years to pass from the point of view of an observer on Earth, while minutes or seconds pass on-board a ship traveling close to light speed) is sometimes proposed as a way to get around the life-span issue, getting close enough to light speed to produce a significant effect requires huge amounts of energy.

The point of hard science fiction is to make a rational extrapolation from known scientific principles (such as the time-dilation paradox of relativity) and work it into a good story that has all the elements of good story-telling (Heinlein's TIME FOR THE STARS and also LeGuin's LEFT HAND OF DARKNESS tell what it would be like to stay young at near light speed while your family ages back home, for instance).
