Nah. The distances are too vast. Even if you could touch 1/4 of light speed then that means to get anywhere you take light years and x4 and you start to see the issue.

Then there's the time dilation thing. Suppose you do see some evidence...so u fly towards it. Only in the time it takes u to get there the civ is gone.
