...interstellar mobility. But some optimistic scientists see hope in "time dilation." If a spaceship cruising toward a foreign star approaches the speed of light, its time, by relativity, will slow down. Its clocks will run slow by earth time, and the chemical processes that make its crew grow old will run slowly too. So when the ship reaches its destination thousands of light years away from the earth, the men on board will be almost as young as when they left home.

The only casualties: three crew members of a B-47 that crashed in western Ontario...
