It'll be close, but I'd guess not. Modern humanity, as defined by genetics, is ~200k years old. (By social behavior? Only 50-75k.) Distance from Sol to the far end of Scutus-Centaurus arm of Milky Way? ~75,000 light-years. You need to be optimistic to expect w/in 200k years.https://twitter.com/VesselOfSpirit/status/1100888720712990720 …
