No one will ever know for sure whether it has oceans. Who is going to take a trip to another star, knowing you will certainly die before ever arriving? What government could fund a 500 or 1,000-year mission for a stellar probe? This is fantasy, not science.

No one has to go there to get that information. Project Starchip in one such idea, not science fiction.
