It would be very neat to have a political system where the existence of human rights did not depend on the price of eggs in the fall of every fourth year.

Honestly, though, the kinetic energy dilation and similar impacts on Interstellar dust and radiation are bigger practical relativistic hurdles. The effects of the passage of time are just much more interesting stories to tell than "we couldn't go because the radiation would fry us".

Depends on what you mean by bad. Take your example and look at what Cherryh did with something like it: ship goes out carrying stuff, makes a round trip that takes 4 years on ship to 18 years on Earth, assuming you can do 4G acceleration somehow. How much has changed when they get home? Is it home?

Also until this recipe I had never twigged to "a club sandwich is just a BLT with an extraneous slice of bread and maybe some other stuff" before.
