My inner sci-fi geek tells me that by this time, we discover faster than light travel, only it isn't compatible with life as we know it.

So we ship off these receivers to circumvent that limitation. Instead of travelling ourselves, we can send off our consciousness to inhabit a human-life analog to explore.

What that does to your psyche, and your body in limbo, are probably good material for a story, if it hasn't already been written.

I think Altered Carbon had these disposable sleeves one could rent to attend a remote meeting.

My inner geek tells me it's more likely humans will plug themselves into the matrix because it'll be far more receptive to technological advances than actual exploration.

At best, you'll throw a bunch of nanoprobes everywhere to get new entropy into the system.

There was a bad sci fi movie that sort of incorporated this, The Beyond (https://m.imdb.com/title/tt5723416/)
