probably not... at least not with our current technology
traveling at the speed of light could also cause problems, everyone would be creating sonic booms....

How did early astronauts travel the speed of light?
Nobody has ever traveled at the speed of light, and I can promise you that nobody ever will.
Will light speed travel be possible in our lifetime?
Probably not in five lifetimes! Light speed travel is a work of fiction, like in sci fi movies. No human will ever travel at the speed of light.
How fast does a raindrop travel?
Depending on the size of the raindrop and the wind speed, updrafts, downdrafts a raindrop can fall at the speed of light. The previous answer was obviously written by an idiot. A raindrop will fall at usually 3 to 8 metres/second. A raindrop will never ever be able to travel at the speed of light.
Will you ever travel faster than the speed of light?
As we understand physics today - No.
What can travel at the speed of light?
Nothing can travel at the speed of light, only light itself, the closest we have ever gotten to the speed of light is 99.9 %, we have accelerated particles at very very close to the speed of light using the LHC (Large Hadron Collider). The only thing that can go faster than the speed of light, is Space.
What would the first astronauts use to get up to light speed in stead of engines?
None. No astronaut or man-made object has ever gotten close to the speed of light. It is impossible for an object to actually travel at the speed of light.
Can you go to the future by passing through dimensions in the universe by how much speed?
If it were possible to go any faster than the speed of light, you would see things happening before anybody else does, therefore technically, once we break the barrier for being able to travel faster than the speed of light (which is probably not possible), then yes, it is possible to time travel into the future. (By the way, the speed of light is about 300,000,000 metres per second - so good luck with this!!) However, it is impossible to ever travel back in time. I think I've answered this - hope it helps!
Why can't anything travel at a speed faster than light?
Various reasons, most of them related to the Special Theory of Relativity. 1. To speed something up so that it even reaches the speed of light (from an initial speed that is slower than light) would require infinite energy. (However, this doesn't preclude hypothetical particles that ONLY travel faster than the speed of light.) 2. If it is were possible to travel faster than the speed of light, it would also be possible to travel to the past. This is due to the definition of "simultaneity" in the Special Theory of Relativity. If you ever read stories about time travel, you would know that time travel may result in many contradictory situations, so it seems doubtful at the least.
Was there ever any speed close to the speed of light?
Are you asking "Did any object ever move at nearly the speed of light ?" ? Electric current moving through wires, radio signals moving through cables or waveguides, and light-wave signals moving through optical fibers, travel at 0.6 to 0.95 the speed of light. Particle accelerators in Physics research accelerate subatomic particles inside gigantic magnetic rings to 0.99999 the speed of light.
What is the velocity of violet light?
Have you ever heard of "The Speed of Light" ? Have you ever wondered why it's just a number, and it doesn't say anything about the color of the light ? The speed of all colors of light is the same, as long as they're all moving through the same substance. It's the number called the "Speed of Light", which you should be able to look up quite easily.
Can human kind ever create light speed?
That's already been done. Light, radio, X-rays and other stuff all travel at light speed every day. I hope this news brings you reassurance and relief.
Do the photons that escape a quasar ever reach hyper velocity?
I am not sure what you mean with "hyper velocity". In a vacuum, photons basically travel at a single speed, known as the "speed of light".
