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.

the tech doesn't even remotely exist to carry enough fuel and other supplies for human trips
-even to mars-
i crack up laughing anytime someone says we'll have boots on mars by even 2030, we can't even get a robot probe to soft-land on the moon correctly.
E-Musk thinks people are gonna live on mars out of pure choice, not scientific curiosity
not as long as your rocket fuel is hydrocarbons. sorry.
this will require some form of nuclear propulsion, not nuclear batteries... legit nuclear propulsion.
we're going to need to find dilithium
