Hi. The crude technology does exist to get a probe there and gather data. In 100 years the technology SHOULD be available to do much more. Here is some crude technology, in my opinion. http://www-03.ibm.com/press/us/en/pressrelease/21580.wss

Come and use the observatory's big telescopes to take a visual journey to the stars. It all starts with observations of the craters and smooth plains of our nearest neighbor, the moon. The next stop will be the planet Venus (in February) and then out to Jupiter, the biggest planet in our solar system. The journey will end with a view of a distant supergiant star.
