This is interesting to me because somehow I’ve had in my head that if we develop the ability in the next couple centuries to send probes interstellar it would be a longer list of possible targets. What this makes me realize is the list of places we visit even in the next thousands of years - even with incredible leaps in propulsion - is very finite. Space may be really really big but the part physically accessible even in long timescales is limited.

Even the part accessable to just radio/light is small.
