Only if you are a photon. In that case, you always move at the speed of light.
If you're not a photon, and have any mass while you're sitting still, and are not
moving at the speed of light right now, then you can never attain light speed.

Is the speed of light the highest speed possible?
It is believed that the speed of light is the highest possible speed.
Is there any way to travel by light speed?
With current technology, it is not possible to even come anywhere close to the speed of light. For example, traveling at 1/10 the speed of light is still science fiction. On the other hand, for anything that does NOT travel at the speed of light, it is impossible to actually attain the speed of light. In theory you might get close. There are some particles, such as photons and the hypothetical gravitons, which ONLY travel at the speed of light.
Why can satellites not attain the speed of light notwithstanding they are in absolute vacuum?
As the speed of an object approaches the speed of light, its kinetic energy approaches infinity. An object moving at the speed of light would require inifinite kinetic energy.
Is the speed of light possible?
For light, it is.
Is it possible to travel at the speed of light in water?
The speed of light in water is less than the speed of light in space. Only light can travel at the speed of light.
How much energy is needed to travel at the speed of light?
It is not possible for any object with any mass to travel at the speed of light. It is possible to travel at 99.9999999999999999999999999999999999999% the speed of light, you could even travel at "99.9 followed by a trillion trillion 9s"% of the speed of light but never quite 100%.According to our current mathematical theories, for an object with any mass to travel at the speed of light it would take infinite energy to attain that speed.
What is the fastest speed possible?
The Fastest speed possible in the Universe is the speed of light in a vacuum exceeding 299,792,458 meters per second.
The fastest speed possible for anything is the speed of light fact or opinion?
That statement is neither fact nor opinion.The fact is that no 'thing' can travel at the speed of light, so the fastestspeed possible for any 'thing' is less than the speed of light.That's the fact.
How slow can light go?
In some special substances, it was possible to slow the speed of light to just a few meters per second - incredibly slow compared to the speed of light in a vacuum.In some special substances, it was possible to slow the speed of light to just a few meters per second - incredibly slow compared to the speed of light in a vacuum.In some special substances, it was possible to slow the speed of light to just a few meters per second - incredibly slow compared to the speed of light in a vacuum.In some special substances, it was possible to slow the speed of light to just a few meters per second - incredibly slow compared to the speed of light in a vacuum.
Is it possible to go a man with light speed?
no
Why does the universe goes faster than light?
The speed of light is around 86,000,000 miles per second and there is not anything that can attain nor exeed that speed. It has been sugested that the power of thought may reach such a speed but has never been proven.
Can you see past and future if you attains speed of light?
You can't attain the speed of light. Since you've already postulated that impossibility in your question, go ahead and postulate whatever consequences appeal to you. We won't mind.
