[@grantexploit5903]

IMO, instead of surpassing old interstellar missions, later missions should rendezvous with and upgrade them, so the first crew sent out to another star becomes the first to arrive. Similar thing with unmanned missions-one of the first spacecraft to arrive at another star should be a revived, massively upgraded Pioneer/Voyager/New Horizons.

It would and would most likely happen in the future but the time problem could stop it. If we sent generation ships like this and get there in 400 years,then humanity in those 400 years could have made faster ships,and beat the previous ships,and make a population of possibly thousands of not millions of people

...except people on Earth wouldn't find out till another 400 years later when the ship got back. if it got back. not exactly "straight into the history book".

There's also a manga with that premise but I forgot the title. Basically, humans sent a colony ship out of curiosity. The colony ship carries frozen embryo which will be thawed when they're within a decade of a habitable planet. However, the donors felt guilty about it, and when FTL was invented decades later, they actually sent FTL terraforming ship to prepare a "habitable world" for the kids to live in.
