First I'll say that if we had unlimited sustainable power, there would be no need to go anywhere at all :) (btw this is not possible - look up the second law of thermodynamics)
Second, one can not travel "at the speed of light or faster". It's not a matter of just figuring out how to do it with new technologies... It is a fundamental rule written into the fabric of the cosmos - it can not be done (at least not by anything with any amount of mass). Now travelling close to C (if it were possible for humans - that we don't know, and we certainly aren't close), could potentially be a legitimate form of interstellar space travel. I'm sure anyone going out on a space mission near the speed of light would be going on a one-way, colonization mission... no need to worry about returning to earth as an ancient relic.
Third, we are not going to create our own wormholes (let alone create them and keep them open for travel). There is not enough energy on earth, and it is not possible to create a device that provides unlimited energy/outputs more energy than it takes in (again it's not a matter of needing new technology - this is entropy, the second law of thermodynamics; one law that physicists believe will never be broken). In any case, it wouldn't be possible to predict where you would come out on the other end, or even if going back in the other end would bring you back to the same original spot.
Lastly, please stop spelling time dilation "time dialation"... it hurts the eyes.
Hope that clears up my last brief post.
Actually you Can travel faster then the speed of light. Go look it up. Teleportation is actually reality. We could travel from the center of the Big Bang to farthest reaches of the universe in less then a second. Some microscopic at this point can be connected to each other from vast distances. We don't have the technology to harness this nor might we ever. But still.
