Would you say that telekinesis "does not seem an impossibility" as well? Why not developing engineering today that could help humanity leverage telekinesis in millions/billions of years? Or is there something that makes you think that traveling 4.5 light-years is more likely than getting telekinesis, or I don't know, discovering "the force"?

Why not developing engineering today that could help humanity leverage telekinesis in millions/billions of years? We are doing R&D on brain–computer interfaces, which (combined with some robotics) allows for moving objects with your mind. Initially for those with disabilities, and maybe eventually for teleoperation of precise machinery. But to be clear, that I hope interstellar travel may be possible in millions/billions of years is not the sole/primary justification for for space exploration.
