Slingshot

Computers pre-programmed to slingshot around the Sun to reach relativistic speeds, his journey seems to take only months, while decades elapse on Earth.  His destination: the closest Earth-like extra-solar planet.   After five subjective months, his ship wakes him.

Destination reached!  It looks like…

Earth?

Buggy software leads to pointless round-trip.
