Honestly if you have the tech to do 4.1ly in a decade why not just do 8ly or 9ly?
I think we could build and launch a small robot ship to our close neighbor. Musk would if he knew the truth. If it wasn't done for profit. At cost. With secret tech and indentured scientists. It'd be even cheaper.
The government definitely doesn't want to deal with people knowing we have this capability tho. Especially not when Biden v Trump is on our ballots and inflation goes wild.
