First, you must be able to travel BACK to the origin.Not true at all, particularly if the probes are robotic. It would be nice to be able to relay messages back at the speed of light, but not essential.

Ah, but I was thinking of making a profit (not prophet) from the interstellar civilization.
True, a "simple" probe, (broadcasting back radio information) could be a prophet, without having having to navigate back.
