If speed approaches the speed of light, the mass of any object will increase. This is not just theory; it is observed on a daily basis. Not with spaceships, of course; the technology is not ready yet - but with subatomic particles in accelerators.

How much energy does it take a spaceship to travel at constant speed 90 percent of light speed?
It depends on the mass of the starship in question.
What happens to the speed of light in motor oil?
As long as the light remains in the motor oil, nothing happens to its speed.
What happens when light passes into a material where the speed of light is lower?
It moves at a slower speed!
What happens if you are driving a car at the speed of light and you cut your headlights on?
They'll leave your car at the speed of light, and when that light passes anybody, they'll measure the speed of the light as it passes them to be the speed of light.
How long to Pluto in a spaceship?
10 X 100000000 light years if the space ship is moving with a speed of 10000000000 km per minute.
How long would it take to get to betelgeuse in a spaceship?
That depends on the speed of the spaceship. If it were traveling at the speed of light, which is the maximum speed that any object can reach, it would take 640 years to get there.
Is man can not be growth by going in a spaceship and it is going with a velocity of light is it real or not?
The part about the spaceship going with the speed of light is not real. I don't understand the earlier part of the question.
If your in a spaceship going 90 percent the speed of light and you shine a flashlight on an onboard vacuum chamber in the same direction that the spaceship is moving how fast is the flashlight light?
I'd imagine it would go the speed of light because time would slow down to make sure the light wouldn't go faster than the speed of light.
How long will a spaceship traveling at the speed of light reach Proxima Centauri?
About 4.2 years.
If you turn on a flashlight while on a spaceship going the speed of light what speed is the light from the flashlight moving at?
c - Light goes at c in all frames of reference according to Special relativity
Spaceship 1 and Spaceship 2 have equal masses of 150 kg Spaceship 1 has a speed of 0 and Spaceship 2 has a speed of 6 They collide and stick together What is their speed?
3 m/s

2 m/s
What happens to the speed of light when it is refracted?
The speed of light slows down.
What happens to the speed of light in motor oil?
As long as the light remains in the motor oil, nothing happens to its speed.
