The Voyager is nowhere near max speed, nor is current biological age the final limit on human life span. If you survive another 500 million years or so, you might meet some aliens then. https://grabbyaliens.com/

If FTL were possible, causality breaks too. Plus if there's other life out there who have discovered FTL, we shouldn't even be here. Don't get your hopes up for more than a tiny portion of the universe ever being explorable.

I don't buy the causality argument, it's based on the same incomplete physics that tell us FTL is impossible.

Besides, that only applies to truly superluminal velocities, it doesn't hold for other forms of travel like wormholes or warp engines.
