I wonder how deceleration would work with those technologies? If you decelerate too hard you destroy the probe but decelerating early means you're going to have to travel a long way at a fraction of light speed so it still ends up taking forever. Without star trek "inertial dampeners" things remain a long way away no matter what we have.
