Destroying the mass relays does not make space travel impossible. Starships can still use their FTL drives to cross interstellar distances and regular thrusters for shorter distances. I believe BioWare's Patrick Weekes has even noted somewhere that with the relays gone, the various races would begin improving FTL with Reaper tech so that eventually galaxy-wide travel could resume.
