The bad news is that the bulk of scientific knowledge that we have accumulated to date concludes that faster than light travel is impossible.

And I believe NASA's scientists are pretty good. My take is that there may be a way around the limits of light speed, but the amount of energy required to accomplish such a thing would be on the scale of a star's output... a level of energy that mere humans cannot hope to command,
ever.
As to the Drake equation, it's one flaw IMO is lack of consideration for the odds that multiple intelligent races will exist
at the same time relative to each other.
