A breakthrough in propulsion/drive/travel technology alone would make such an endeavor obsolete. Not to mention the logistics of trying to create something reasonable to travel on/in at the speed of light for interstellar travel (and more likely, it would not be at the speed of light, but near it, which is even worse). The dubious "returns" are not worth the amount of effort required here. The solar system, yes. But not interstellar space. We are effectively "trapped" in our solar system until we find a better solution than travelling at (or near) the speed of light.
