no, thats sci-fi. we would be travelling near relativistic speeds if we want to do that, but we are subject to things like time dilation. this was always a trope in sub-ftl travel(travelling close to speed of light, but the time effects is so wierd. you arnt actually doing the whole 10s of thousands of years in our perspective, but to the passengers, it takes less time.

also we dont have FTL, thats pure scifi(its almost always involved bypassing the speed of light as to not violate that universal constant, usually its interdiminesional travel. trek has several methods, warp which is just spatial manipulation to move the vessel across space, transwarp/voth/vortex, which is interdimensional travel to by pass the speed of light, most others are using teleportation which is not truel ftl movement, but its considered ftl.
