Default Do you age slower in space?

I read this somewhere?
the HD40307g planet that is the most similar to earth is 42 light years away, but if we created a space ship that travelled at the speed of sound it would take 42 years one way. However, if we sent a human, Ive read we age at half the rate in space which would mean the astronaut would only age 21 years? could it ever be possible we could actually send a spaceship accurately to land 42 light years away? let alone a human being?
