The paradox with space travel is that in theory we could always send out faster ships later that travel quicker than previous iterations. Basically ships 200 years from now could overtake ships that we sent out now etc. So at what point do we send out interstellar space robots/ships etc..

It is likely that within the not too distant future we have space ships that overtake and pass voyager for instance.
