Alpha Centauri is only 4.2 light years away. 0.25c is definitely enough to reach it. You could even do a round trip in only your adult years.

Why do people row across the ocean?
If humanity survives to a high enough tech level, someone will do it just because they can...
Yeah, if you take the highly unlikely and already lethat 0.25c achievability as a given.
That is the context the above comments are talking in.
Well, except that you changed below lethal to already lethal.
