Planet seeding on the other hand, I can see happening much sooner. Send robots with cryogenically frozen embryos. We probably wouldn't have a hands on role after that point though.

We as a species have a way of surprising our selves. Do I expect to see interstellar travel in my lifetime, no, but would it surprise me to see it happen, no. One small discovery or break though can lead to 1000 more significant ones which can lead to 100,000 more.
That something could be skunkworks fusion reactor. Who knows.
