Yes when compared to an observer stationary on Earth due to Einsteins special theory of Relativity and an effect called time dilation.Time dilation would make it possible for passengers in a fast-moving vehicle to travel further into the future while aging very little, in that their great speed slows down the rate of passage of on-board time. That is, the ship's clock (and according to relativity, any human traveling with it) shows less elapsed time than the clocks of observers on earth. For sufficiently high speeds the effect is dramatic.For example, one year of travel might correspond to ten years at home.
