Saltfish, go ahead and post! It's just good to see that people are taking the time and effort to correct posts here.
KnifeMissile's hit on an interesting point here: it's not impossible to travel at light speed. It is merely impossible to accelerate a massive object to or beyond light speed. Hence the theory that if you remove the Higgs particles from something, it would take off at the speed of light. The only problem, is that you either need to slow down a nonmassive particle (impossible) or speed up the massive Higgs particles to c (equally impossible) to get the Higgs particles back into your original thing.
The maths also imply that if you got something travelling at more than light speed, you would have a similar difficulty slowing it down to light speed.
Relativity is fun, kiddies!
