Yeah, I should've been clearer. But writing off your entire family as dead is only a consequence of riding the proton, so it has nearly no advantage. And again, there's suspended animation, so not only can you make the trip nigh-instantly (to you) on the ship, you can get back before people forget you exist.
It wasn't your clarity, it was your tone. If you're gonna go around "BZZZT WRONG!!!"-ing people, you really ought to be sure you understand the physics. As written, your post completely misses the boat about what relativity is all about.
