Ok here are some thoughts for you:

According to relativity, nothing can move faster than the speed of light in a vacuum.
This speed roughly equates to 186,000 miles per second.
However in looking at the laws of the universe and relativity, one could exceed the speed of light from the view point outside the vehicle in which you are traveling.

Now to understand this theory you must understand a few basic principles.
First if you are inside a car sitting in the back seat, while traveling 90 miles per hour.
You throw a ball to the front seat at a speed of 35 miles per hour, the total speed of the ball is in fact 125 miles per hour.
Now let us say you can not see outside the car…..To all inside the vehicle the ball is only traveling at 35 miles per hour.

Now since nothing in the universe can go faster than the speed limit of 186,000 miles per second we would have to use a “piggy back” effect.
Think of this almost like when you put a stick in a stream. To the stick it appears that it is not moving, however outside the stream one can see that the stick is in fact moving very fast.

To do what I propose would take several vehicles of great length.
First the outer vehicle would have to be massively long as the next vehicle will be placed inside.
The vehicle inside the outer vehicle would also have to be massively long, about ½ the size of the first.
This continues until the calculated speed of the innermost vehicle travels to the speed of light.
So according to any observer inside this massive monument of vehicles the speed of light would not be reached, thus not breaking any rules of the universe, However to any observer on the outside, the speed of light will have been achieved.

Further notes to consider on this subject:

1) If time slows down as you reach the speed of light would it stop when reached?
2) If you pass the speed of light would time in fact reverse itself? If this happens how could the pilot turn it on, when the time would reverse and he would turn it off.
