On the flip side of this in "only" something like 20'000 years it'll be a light year away. Yes, that's a really long time, but 20'000 years ago humans already existed. In fact it's "only" 10% back into the history of humans. This gives me hope that actually while yes out of reach of humans, not out of reach of humanity. Even without FTL. Or in other words: There will be humans out there for whom it's normal that we have sent equipment a light year away. (I choose to believe we'll survive that long)
