You don't have to travel to space faster than light to see the Earth in the past. All you need to do is travel to a vantage point in space, e.g. ISS and you will see the Earth in the past. The farther away you travel in space, the farther the Earth will "travel" backwards in time (even after correcting for travel time).
It is easy to prove this! Look at an attractive woman or man (your choice) who is a meter away from you on Earth. That's very near so you must be peeping from the wall, LoL. The moment you see the person, you know that he/she is DEFINITELY a person from the PAST. The speed of light in free space is exactly 299,792,458 meters per second. In earth's atmosphere, the speed of light slows, though this is negligible. Let's say it is 299,792,000 meters per second because it's foggy and because I don't like to use a calculator to nit-pick. Photons emitted from the nose of the person (who you believe is a person of the present) will hit your cornea in 3.33564605E-9 seconds (~3.33 nanoseconds). They will then traverse your cataract-free lens and strike the first layer of your retina after another 6.17094519E-11 seconds (~0.06 nanoseconds). Retinal information processing may take 0.05 seconds (50 million nanoseconds). Add another 0.05 seconds (50 million nanoseconds) to get the signal to the primary visual cortex. At this point, you already see the person, but will not be able to tell yet if he/she is a person and whether he/she is attractive. That will take another 0.2-0.3 seconds (200-300 million nanoseconds), assuming you are free from neurodegeneration and other brain disorders.
Enough of this circumlocution! Let's now get to the point. I just used an attractive person, in place of an attractive planet, to demonstrate the fact that THERE IS NO SUCH THING IN PHYSICS AS "SEEING" THE PRESENT. Anyone who is stationary or traveling at subluminal speed will always see PAST EVENTS. If you wish to see the Earth 1,000 years in the past, simply travel away at subluminal speed; only make sure you remain alive to get to a position in space where you can see the Earth 1,000 year older than when you departed.
Now if you travel out in space at light-speed and look back then you will see the Earth at the present time! Since time has "frozen" everything you see is "present". But there are two caveats: you should find a way to avoid accelerating at the beginning and decelerating at the end of your journey, in which case you should already be travelling at light-speed even before you thought about this question and you should never stop to read the answer before looking back to view Earth. Only photons and other massless entities are capable of this magic so, in theory, you can't!
But you don't want to give up because you don't trust geologists and historians. You want to see --with your own eyes-- what the Earth was like 1,000 years before you posted this question. You want to see the "past" past, not the "future" past. You can try to break the light barrier
