Close, but nothing can accelerate to the speed of light. Using relativity, it requires an infinite amount of energy (more than is in the known universe) to accelerate an object to the speed of light. The faster you go, the more mass an object has, requiring more energy to go faster.

An object already going light speed, could in theory stay at that speed if they don't encounter any drag. In that same theory, objects could go faster than the speed of light, IF they began that way. But where would such objects come from?
