<p dir="ltr">There exist organizations that can do this. I know of no examples that are single mission organizations with nothing to do (and thus, no reason for people to continue participating in or remember them) for years at a time.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Now, a foundation that was doing shorter missions - say, using the tech to get better data about the outer planets, and/or map and survey all of our solar system's large asteroids - while waiting for the results of this one interstellar mission might continue to exist long enough. But that wouldn't be as sexy, so I do not expect them to seriously consider suggestions of thus sort.</p>
