That kind of claim needs an actual source, because it's not.
The distances are so many orders of magnitude too high for any of today's technologies, making this a pure daydream.
The best we could plausibly do is travel within Sol, and that's not starfaring.
It would have to be a multi generational journey in which any refueling/restocking is impossible and any slip up would cause a full wipeout.
Starfaring is far beyond us... and that's unlikely to ever change for humans with a biological body.
