What kinds of things do you do on the computer?

Did you see the movie "Contact" with Jody Foster. You can get there a lot quicker with a worm hole. I consider them to be like an optical fiber for getting around fast in the universe. Although a part of us is already there because everything in the universe, past, present and future is connected in real time.

This theory is known as the Block Universe Theory. According to this theory, the universe is a giant four-dimensional block of spacetime where the past, present, and future all coexist and are equally real. This means that time doesn’t flow in the way we typically perceive it; instead, every moment in time exists simultaneously within this block.

Wormholes as shown in Contact and Interstellar are interesting. However, I am unclear about wormholes and their inclusion in hard sci-fi.

My storm of a ship arriving at an extrasolar planet is more about some of the difficult Human factors such a journey could encounter. Pieces of the ship deteriorating, failing technology and software, radiation, Human augmentation to the point a person my no longer be truly Human. Humans having to colonize a world with only ever having known the strict confines of a spacecraft, those same Humans trying to grasp the culture that sent them but having never been a part of it. Humans having to deal with an alien situation their ancestors sent them on.

Humans trying to grasp the culture that sent them

My wife comes from a different culture. So I can see how she handles that.
