Into the future? Absolutely. Backwards? Almost certainly not.

Consider: if we were develop backwards time travel at some point in the future, then someone could have gone back in time to some point before today. If time travel will be discovered, then it has already happened.

Thus, due to the very nature of time travel, if it hasn't happened already, we can safely assume that it never will.
