It takes only a few years to travel to Jupiter. We have sent multiple probes that way, Pioneer, Voyager, Galileo, New Horizons.... The only reason we would go in person are the moons. Europa is the most probable place we could find organic life. Its a big ball of water covered with ice.
Water is the key to getting to the planets. Not speed. One part of the upcoming Artemis 3 mission is to land near our moon's south pole to find ice. Then a lunar colony.
Then on to the Martian poles.
Einstein, gravity and time dilation are a whole other discussion.
