To imagine that voyager technology will define the maximum velocity of interstellar travel, a thousand years from now, ten thousand, a million, etc is short sighted. Maybe we never can exceed light speed, but we could get up to a reasonable percentage of it.

Sure, but it puts things into perspective. If we assume 1% of c is feasible - it's still a 10 Million year journey to cross 100k light years. That's much better - it gives 1 000 chances in 10 bn years.
