If we ever figure out FTL travel, FTL communication is relatively simple: worst case, you send your message to a ship (possibly a drone) with instructions to FTL-travel to the destination and deliver the message. It’s kind of the high-tech equivalent of a man on a horse delivering a sealed parchment, but it’d work.
If by that point we haven’t figured out a better way to do it, at the very least we should have that method available.
Id assume if we have figured faster than light travel, we’d also figured out FTL communication.
Hopefully both are possible.
