Default Seeing Earth, years ago

This may hurt some ppl's minds.

I was watching on the Discovery Channel a documentary about:

IF we could travel faster than light... Could we fly so far away & get a powerful enough telescope & look back @ the Earth, would we see it x (time) ago? for e.g: If u look @ an object in the sky that is 480 Light Years away, then u r viewing it as it looked 480 Years ago...

Think about it, if we could travel 600 Light Years & look back @ Earth, we would see it as it was 600 Years ago??

We're flying faster than light away from the Earth. Then looking at it, would be like seeing what was happening at whatever time cuz the images haven't reached where u are yet. It's kinda hard to think about but then may easy to others...

Does this make sense?
