Am i just too cynical, that I think this might be how the previous summoned people "went home" after giving a name to the Demon Lord?

I think "vehicle" strongly implies transporting people but maybe that part is a translation error.
Regardless we have never sent a probe to a star before so trying to take credit for something that humanity has never done is ridiculous.

We have sent a probe to a star. Our own sun. Couple of probes have even done flybys to accelerate for the outer planets in our solar system.

hey people cut the manga some slack with the "vehicle to the star" thing. For all we know, she may be pointing at the moon and calling it a star.

Yeah, technically we havn't sent a manned probe to the sun...but what counts as reaching the sun? It has no habitable solid surface and we already exist within it's physical radius (both energy and mass) so you could argue we were born within it existence. Furthermore we certainly have the capability in incinerate an astronaut in approach but it serves no purpose, not even scientific.

Actually, in ancient times, the planets were called stars. Venus was called the Morning Star, for example. Mars was known as the "fire star" (Chinese: 火星). I'm pretty sure that was what Renee was talking about. They probably don't have a specific word for a planet in that world.

@Hyte The speed of our probes was not my concern. If we aimed a probe at the nearest star (excluding Sol) and used every last bit of modern knowledge to calculated it’s trajectory, there is still 0% chance the probe would end up anywhere near the desired star. In fact there is little chance of it ever going within system range of any star unless given infinite time (and even then the heat death of the universe will probably come sooner).

@DarkLordAlfie dude, I never talked about us doing any kind of calculations. All I said is that we actually have interstellar probe, Voyager 1(well it was never designed for this, but it's not like we have any way of stopping it), and this probe is going pretty fast by human standarts - whopping 17 kilometers per second, even Sanic is envious. And last time I checked, our little interstellar probe is going to fly by a star(sorry don't remember its name) in 40 thousand years. Pretty fast heat death, don't you think? And if voyager is not enough for you, then google Breakthrough Starshot, a good read, since it is a completely possible project, with real physics in mind.

@Hyte Then clearly we were talking about different things. Voyager 1 is going to pass within 1.7 light years of a completely random star, not a predetermined destination. And for context the entire milkyway is about 100,000 light years across, and the earth is about 0.000016- light years from sol. I specified any probe would be unlikely to pass within system range of a star, and that's true. I was just being snarky in pointing out that we can't send probes toward specific stars (besides sol) and even at random they are still unlikely to come anywhere near one. And as for potential future projects, I did specify we couldn't do it with current knowledge, who knows what future technology and understanding will enable us to do.

If it wasn't obvious to everyone when she says star she was correct in the sense that other planets were also considered stars (ever wonder why Venus was called "the morning star"?) It would be correct to state that we have reached another star from this civilization's level of astrology, which appears minimal at best considering we're medieval.

For the star/planet debate: Note that if the word in Japanese was "Hoshi," that word applies to both planets (including earth) and stars.

I figured she was pointing to a known "wandering star"—a planet.

Though I suppose nothing is preventing this from being a sneak sci-fi setting for Earth, I don't think that's what was meant.
