Humanity has undertaken massive projects that took hundreds of years before (~2,000 years for all of the great wall of China).

As long as they're less than a few thousands light years out, I don't think that communication would be impossible.

I’m with you. But is it reasonable to assume that we can understand each other and share knowledge between the stars. From what I understand, it’s extremely unlikely. After all, we can barely communicate with species other than our own.
