You could never accelerate any object that has a mass to the speed of light. Due to relativistic effects, the object's kinetic energy starts increasing, that energy has a mass equivalence and as we know the more massive an object is, the more it resists acceleration. Therefore the more energy you invest into accelerating the object, its relativistic mass (energy) grows infinitely. It would require infinite energy to push it into lightspeed.
