Exactly! That's why I think we should keep building better AI. It'll be AI, which will be traveling out to the stars, not humans.
We could send a probe to a star and once it reaches it, we could simply beam the AI using a transmitter to the probe. Once AI has done its work there, it can be beamed back to Earth (it there is need for that). Build a network of probes and AI can travel between stars at light speed!
