I don't trust transporter technology. Don't be disassembling me!
The safest route would be figuring out how to empower our "spirit body" to explore the universe. The human spirit is a tangible being, from what I've read. It's not constrained by the same laws our physical body are subject to.
Start with spirit travel.

But the general consensus is you'd have to drop to sub-light speed to send a transmission back to Earth. Otherwise the transmission would never leave the broadcasting antenna, or something like that.
Unless quantum communication can be achieved.
Instant communication anywhere in the universe.
I suppose once humankind becomes that advanced, we can incorporate ourselves into a Quantum packet and go anywhere, instantly.
You would need a suitable environment to go to. We would need the quantum communication and ships to build a suitable environment to go to first. That would take a while to do.
NASA's having a tough time finding enough money to get mankind to the Moon again. So you're right. It will take at least "a while".
At least SpaceX is trying.
Just as, with several observations, you can determine in what direction the star is moving.
In the beginnings of what Quinn called the "new era", the Q engaged in constant dialogues of discovery and other universal issues. However, eventually, the Q came to realize that they had experienced, observed, or discussed literally everything imaginable. This resulted in the virtual shutdown of the Continuum as a society, as the immortal beings simply saw no point in even conversing with one another anymore.
..................
Quinn was imprisoned on a rogue comet for eternity to prevent him from ending his own life, until he was accidentally released by the crew of the USS Voyager in 2372. In a courtroom hearing to determine his right to political asylum, Quinn described the Continuum as a lazy, old way station along a deserted desert road – he argued that the road could take them to anywhere in the universe, but the Q had already been everywhere. In addition, everything both old and new had already been discussed, and so the roadhouse was silent – there was nothing left to say. Therefore, Quinn argued that being forced to remain alive was a continued burden to him, a burden that he did not want to continue to bear. Q argued that the death of a Q would create chaos in the Continuum. Voyager captain Kathryn Janeway ruled in Quinn's favor, granting him asylum. A day later, Quinn committed suicide.

You cannot tell in which direction the storm is moving however. With several observations you can. Just as, with several observations, you can determine in what direction the star is moving.
No..but you can find the Thunderstorm based on what direction you hear the thunder coming from.

It's still very humbling to know that there's so much "out there" to explore, and yet we struggle to get to a ball of rock that only 230,000 miles away.

Are you talking OBE's? Because that is what it is sounding like. I agree that we are more than what our avatar's contain.

With a star, we're "seeing" with our eyes where it was 4, 40, 400, etc.. years ago. How do you calculate where it will be for our warp 5 space ship to arrive, without wasting time/fuel getting there?

Ok.

Science would probably first have to have evidence that consciousness can exist outside of our bodies.

Yeah...that's it. Out of Body travel. We should be able to trigger it voluntarily. No heart-attack needed. Something for the scientists to work on.
