Dammit, I'm posting to this thread again!  Oh, well - in for a dime...

You CAN'T travel at the speed of light.  Your question is therefore
meaningless.  If the premise of a statement is false, then the entire
statement is false.

"If the moon were made of green cheese, then..."

Well, it ISN'T!

"If the Republicans ever get a clue, then..."

Well, they WON'T!  ;-)

If you are in a car travelling at .9999999999999999 c, and you turn on
the headlights, you will see them as if they were shining normally.  You
wouldn't notice any difference at all from the way they work on a normal
city street.  This is because all speed is RELATIVE.
