Gary Harnagel:
However, if you could accelerate at a constant one g (as experienced by
the ship) then flip over and decelerate, you could get there in 22 years.

I'd be worried about lethal radiation from running into particles, though,
let alone stuff in the Oort clouds of our solar system and that of the
destination star :-(

There must be a better way ...

Sorry to tell you this, but the reality is that there is no better way.
No way at all, now or in the conceivable future outside of SF. 39 LY
might as well be 39 million LY; we aren't going there.

I agree with almost everything that you have said and almost everything that
you will say in your entire life.
