This paper attempts to identify, within the context and limitations of Special Relativity, what might have to happen within our Cosmos in order for a starship to reach out and within a human lifetime, return to its home planet from the further stars. In general, it shows that such journeys would require that our Cosmos possess a deeper dimensionality than the breadth, length, height and depth of 3-dimensional space and 1-dimensional time - with this deeper dimensionality required to give starships room to soar over the space-time realm of existence of beings whose motion state is slower-than-light with respect to earth. In particular, it shows that rapid starship transit to a distant star would require its disappearance from human sight after reaching the speed of light - followed immediately thereafter by its reappearance trillions of miles away in close proximity to its target star. And during that instant of disappearance the starship would have to 'jump' over so-called time and space with its world-line arching like a rainbow over our x-ct space-time plane.
