Even if they can get to the speed of light, it takes years, and Einsteins make it clear, a trip to our closest star done at 99.99% of the speed of light would take just a few years on board, but back here on Earth to us, it would bee many thousands of years.

I feel certain somewhere out there on one of the many trillions of planets, intelligent life exists. I just don't think we will ever be able to communicate with them in any way.
Try calculating the energy requirements for accelerating and decelerating the mass of a reasonable sized starship to and from 99.99%c.
