As time passes, the universe is expanding infinitely in every direction from every point.

Even if we could travel at 1 percent the speed of light, the "destination" would be inflating away from us at much greater relatavistic speed.

To your point, this is less an issue with solar or extra solar objects.

Doesn't this depend on the initial distance to the destination? I'm thinking you have to be going ~140M light-years for cosmic expansion to exceed 1%c, and Proxima Centauri is only ~4 light-years away
