You guys think KFC is still open?
If FTL is impossible (as is likely the case) there is a point where a better ship can't catch up, even if its going like 0.9c.

It's a neat idea from a sci-fi perspective, but when you think about the most efficient forms of space propulsion (slingshots around large gravity wells) I'm not sure how we'll manage to do much better.
Either you catch up to someone before they leave the solar system or you're just going to shorten the time needed to reach their terminal velocity.
There's a diminishing return as you approach the speed of light, and FTL travel isn't exactly a trivial hurdle.
