I mean something like "the probe near the destination sends information about that star system and humanity receives it". I'll use my judgement to decide what counts.

Is there a question for 2060?

I'd vote yes for 2060 🤔

Even a Project Daedalus fusion rocket launched today would reach the nearest star by 2059, missing it by 9 years.

Perhaps Breakthrough Starshot can make it in time, but they have, like 1.5 years remaining for development, assembly and launch.

@ICRainbow let me create another question with a longer timeline, actually
