Is the 6 years measured in the time-frame of a passenger on the spacecraft, or as observed from Earth?

At 0.9c the relativistic time dilation is such that 2.3 days on Earth pass for every day shipboard time, meaning the crew would experience less than 4 years of travel in total:

Since we aren't too fast yet, it would basically be the same.
