So when we reach proxima centauri b, we would be sending data to the nearest data transfer platform and that platform would forward the data to the next platform and that's how we will send or receive data!

but momentum in space is pretty sweet. give it a little shove and it’s going until the last black hole collapses lol. so if we can accelerate it to our desired speed close enough it’ll maintain that speed

Concorde was going at ~600m/s or 2 160km/h. The Parker Solar Probe (the fastest craft made by mankind) orbits the Sun at 163km/s or 586 000km/h. In other words, the Concorde was ~270x slower than the Parker Solar Probe. Idk how you did your maths, but the Concorde doesn't even qualify in the top 10 fastest crafts ever built...

My favourite thing about solar sails is that you can use lasers to continue accelerating when you're too far away from a star to use it's photons to push you.
