That's the question, isn't it...
Even if you send a 1000 of those critters, one every 2 minutes, the individual crafts will be millions of kilometers away from each other. So letting them talk to each other at their destination seems to be difficult as well, and the first ones will have long left the system before the last ones even approach it.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
