Fermi Explorer Mission reportedly plans Alpha Centauri spacecraft launch by 2029 using AI-discovered trajectory

A nonprofit called the Fermi Explorer Mission announced plans to launch a spacecraft toward Alpha Centauri by 2029, using a trajectory found by PSI's AI system.

WHY IT MATTERS

If realized, this would be an interstellar mission to the nearest star system with a trajectory generated by AI rather than traditional human-derived orbital mechanics. The material is extremely thin, only one feed carried the story, so the technical specifics, funding status, and feasibility remain unclear.
