That would be pretty awesome but...

What's more, the passage of time inside the warp bubble would be the same as that outside it. The crew would not suffer from Einstein's "time dilation" effect where time passes at different rates for people traveling at different speeds.

The time dilation effect means that anyone traveling to the stars at speeds approaching that of light would experience a journey of a few years. But when they came back to Earth they would find that thousands of years had passed and all their friends were long dead.
Wouldn't that just mean that the people traveling to the stars would just die thousands of years before they got there? Depending on how fast they were travel of course.
