that would depend entirely on the era of space exploration we're talking about here.

traveling at high warp on in the late-24th century on the comfortable, galaxy-class starship enterprise? absolutely!

within the next 50 years, when the best we can do is a float in a tin can that we slingshot around planets and asteroids, with interplanetary trips in our own solar system taking months or years? no thanks!
