Small fusion reactors don't really solve any of the key challenges. You need reaction mass to accelerate, you run out of reaction mass way too quickly even with a magical energy source on board to throw it out the back of the ship really fast.
If we had a probe in orbit around this planet, do we have a way to stream data across 48 light years with any kind of reliability?
