The concept of 'relativistic mass' was disliked by Einstein, the father of special relativity. However a value can be obtained using;
M = m/(1-v2/c2)1/2
Where M is the relativistic mass, m is the rest mass, c is the speed of light in a vacuum and v is the velocity.
With v/c = 0.999 we obtain
M = m*22.37
With m as the proton mass, m=1.673*10-27 Kg
M = 3.74*10-26 Kg

What is the maximum recession velocity of the galaxy observed?
Some of the furthest galaxies are believed to be "travelling" faster than the speed of light. They are not actually "travelling" faster than the speed of light, but creating space, faster than the speed of light.
What are heat waves called that are travelling at the speed of light?
radiation
Could you detect an object travelling in excess of the speed of light.?
Probably not. Nothing travels faster than the speed of light.
When travelling at the speed of light's one can reach the moon in?
1.27 seconds
If you were to set up a ship travelling at 80 percent the speed of light if you stayed on the ship for 1 year how many years would pass on earth?
Time slows down by a factor of 1 / square root of 1- (v2 / c2), where v is the velocity (or speed) of the object, and c is the speed of light.
Are there any galaxies that have travelled faster than the speed of light?
Travelling faster than the speed of light is not possible, therefore no galaxies have travelled or are travelling faster than the speed of light.
How does particle acquire speed such as the speed of light?
Photons begin their existence travelling at the speed of light, they do not "acquire" this speed.
If you are travelling at the speed of light and fire a bullet what would happen?
it is impossible to fire a bullet a the speed of light

Will you move into another galaxy?
Not in the near future. Other galaxies are hundreds of thousands, or millions, of light-years away; travelling at the speed of light, it would thus take millions of years to travel to most galaxies; travelling at a lower speed would, of course, take longer.Not in the near future.

How many minutes away is the mooon?
None or Infinity. What speed are you travelling? Are we walking or travelling the speed of light? Temporal distance is entirely dependant on velocities.
Do you follow newtons laws?
Unless I am travelling in the speed of light, yes.
How long would it take you to get to Vesta travelling at the speed of light?
bananas
When travelling at the speed of light's one can reach the moon in?
1.27 seconds
What happens to the neutrinos that are produced in the proton-proton chain?
They head out of the sun at nearly the speed of light
