space explorers reach inhabited extrasolar planets;
time dilated space travelers return to Earth;
time travelers arrive in historical or future periods.
The conclusion of the preceding post reminds us of time travel stories by Poul Anderson:
"Welcome"
Time travelers to a near future are welcome to share a cannibalistic meal.
"Time Heals"
Increasing incomprehension with increased futurity.
"The Man Who Came Early"
A modern man does not succeed in an earlier period contra Mark Twain.
"The Little Monster"
A young boy's effect on proto-men.
"Flight to Forever"
Succeeding civilizations, either hostile or indifferent.

The Quincunx Of Time by James Blish
Not time travel but nevertheless increasingly incomprehensible messages from further futures.
