The New Voyager Program sent AI probes to every star within 20 lightyears of Earth. They arrived in the nearby systems before humanity’s hyperdrives could propel us to them. Our ships found those systems fully mapped and ready for exploitation. Humanity flew to the star systems further from Earth without those maps though. It would be years or decades before the Voyager swarms decelerated to enter those systems, but their influence on the future of interstellar exploration cannot be overstated.
