The reason this appears to be impossible is that it would require an infinite amount of thrust to propel the craft. FTL travel, especially in the context of bending space, supposes a much more advanced technique of propulsion than Newton's first law.
When you think in terms of Special Relativity and quantum mechanics, mass becomes much less important.
