"So are you saying there is no way past the speed of light limitation ???"

None that we know of. Light moves very fast, but the distances between stars make it too slow for our short lives.

en.wikipedia.org

The nearest star is a little over four light YEARS away. So, if a voyager traveled AT the speed of light, it would take more than four years to get there, and the same to return - for the traveller. On Earth, much more time would pass.
