Consider the fact that our own galaxy is so vast that traveling at the speed of light for 50 years would only put us about a quarter of the way across our own galaxy’s diameter.
Maybe you should do a little more research about our (Milky Way) galaxy. It is estimated to be over 100,00 light years across. Traveling at light speed for 50 years would not even get you out of our neighborhood (about 0.05 of 1% of the way across the galaxy).

Well the next time you are peering into the night sky and looking up at the stars, some of the dimmest (furthest) stars, think about how their light actually left from their galaxy long ago.
All the stars that can be seen with the naked eye, as individual stars, are in our galaxy. The only extra-galactic object that can be observed with the naked eye, from earth, is Andromeda Galaxy (our nearest neighbor) and it just looks like a very faint, hazy smudge.
