The technologies can be explicitly sci-fi-inspired, but obviously don't have to be. Add your own! Unrelated or trivial answers will be N/A'd.

All developed technologies resolve YES once they are in use (past the research phase) and technologies that don't exist resolve NO if/when we travel to the stars: aka when at least one person makes a transit attempt with a reasonable expectation of survival and success.

AI-developed tech counts, if the AI was originally made by humans. Presumptive alien-tech and alien-AI-tech don't count.

The close date is highly speculative and may be pushed back until interstellar travel happens or humans are gone.
