[Spaceships] Interstellar Colony Ships

After 1 century or more, would the technology even be relevant?

It would be like King Louis XIV of France sending a fleet of galleons to somewhere 150 years away (yeah I know, bear with me), then sending them back, because we might need them in 2009.

I agree that the raw materials would be more useful to the colony, Especially if it is designed from the outset to breakdown into stuff useful to the colony.
