Not a problem if you can reach 1
c (well you can't but you can reach something like .9999
c in theory) when that happens a wonderful little thing call Time Dilation occurs. Time for the crew of the Spacecraft in flight will change. At .9999 of
c it will change by a
factor of 70! Basically for every day on Earth the spaceship's crew will travel the distance of 2.59x10^10 km x 70 (approx 1/5th of a light year per day) because from their perspective the universe is traveling 70 times faster, in essence they are traveling though time as well as space.
