It is is impossible to got the speed of light. IN astronomy, this is because the equation needed to measure mass increase (moving mass= (rest mass)/Square root(1-(v/c)^2, c=speed of light) becomes #/0 if the object's speed= 3x10^8. IN this sense, the result (#/0) translates to Moving mass=infinity. This means the object has infinate mass. To move infinte mass you would need infinate energy. THis is verified by tests in atom smashers. Subatomic particles have reached 0.9999c, but no further because to even reach these speeds simply requires too much power.
