There is a spaceship that can go as close to the speed of light as is possible and it doesn't need fuel. It orbits the sun and is made of a special metal that rebels photons (I think) it just keeps getting faster and faster. It would take a long time to get to the speed of light but it would get there - of course there would be no way of catching it once it was going that fast....

I'll try and find some info on it. I'm not sure if it's been made yet but it's been proved that it would work.

Or. If they can get into space. Then have a rocket that can propel at the speed of light. Even for 1,000,000,000 of a second. Then they can travel that fast forever in space. I think that is possibel to make a rocket that can propel the speed of light in 1,000,000,000 of a second.

The first vessel that could reach the speed of light was the Phoenix :

I believe it was build in Montana.

No spaceship yet as you have just said and its called a SOLAR SAIL! or is it Light sail...maybe both...and for if it has been proven..how can you prove something if its still on the drawing boards? you need to read those mag articles a little more carefully. with a solar sail you could travel space but it would take you years to get anywhere maybe hundreds of years. although they would look cool =)

[edit]
BTW i know of no such test with a solar sail to see if the theory actually works

AHAHAHA i thought that was the same ship off star trek...when they are fighting the borg and they get cought in the rift that sends them back in time and they end up fighting the borg days befor the launch of the first ship that can go at the speed of light (warp 1)

Good movie it was...or was that one of the TV shows?

with his small size he can infiltrate the white house and distroy them all with a mosue sized chainsaw...of course a chainsaw that small would hardly do any damage so while he is sleeping cut his throat...alot...
