Here we go, people misunderstanding Einstein. Listen, nobody is ever going to go the speed of light. Ever! you can go faster, slower, but to go the actual speed of light, to speed up to that, would require more and more energy and also, You'd have to be energy you couldn't be mass. I'm not going to explain this to you. as for photons, they're all around us, I doubt a photon is ever going to be powerful enough if it is generated from a craft. Solar sails look interesting.
