Apparent faster-than-light travel: Where's my mistake?

| Hello again,

| Assume I take a spaceship to Alpha Centauri, which is 4 light years
| away. And the ship goes so fast, that the travel time seems to me to
| be one hour. Will it not seem to me that Alpha Centauri made a journey
| that started at x=4[ly] and ended at x=0, during a time of one hour,
| and therefore its speed was much faster than lightspeed? Where is my
| mistake?

Your mistake is listening to the incredible garbage Einstein spewed.
The time to walk from London to New York on a plane is equal to
the time it takes to return from the flight deck to the tail.
the "time" required by light to travel from A (London, tail of plane) to B
(New York, flight deck) equals the "time" it requires to travel from B to A
