I think Quantum teleportation might be the key, but we may have to wait while a robotic probe delivers the machinery to the destination for us to teleport there instantly.
Assuming of course the phenomena can be scaled to human size operation.
yeah that is somewhat of a problem still, getting the receiving end in place before we can teleport, perhaps there's a way we can do it that doesn't need anything to be sent on ahead to receive us, kinda like the transporter beam in star trek but over a far greater distance?

The danger there would be in how to precisely target the arrival place, you would have to take so many variations into account, like exactly how far the parent star is from us, the position of the planet in orbit, the angular momentum of the local matter (you don't want to turn up moving 400 mph faster than your local environment etc etc...
Not to mention that such a machine would probably be capable of sending someone anywhere in the entire universe you might have to make sure that you have the right galaxy and supercluster targetted as well...
But I don't have that much faith in the Quantum teleportation possibility yet. A copy of me here dies ( loses it's Quantum information ) and another copy receives that information ... I would definitely fear death trying that machine, is it me on the other side?, I would wonder. Or is it a copy of me with a new observer inside?..
Or put another way you fear the possibility of the existence of time within which there is no continuance of your physical form.
I would posit the existence of an eternal soul embedded in the matrix of quantum possibility, would mean that you would be able to make the leap safely in a quantum teleportation device of some sort.
If you think about it your body is changing rapidly all the time and moving around, how does your mind manage to cling to it anyway?
To throw in a weird bit of possible nonsense, what if your just an observer moving at the speed of light through a warped space that is so twisted it forms colours sounds and so on?
Would it really matter then if you temporarily lost all your matter?

I do believe in space-time frame dragging for assisting people in going any direction the monolith sized machinery would point to.
You could do the same trick magnetically with much smaller machinery, but then you'd probably squish the occupants with g-forces lol
