"when you travel at the speed of light, time stops"
Actually, that is not quite correct. Your assumption regarding the spaceship could be flawed also. I am not arguing with you, I wish to point out that these assumptions are based on current theories.
For example, your statement that time stops if you travel at the speed of light may not work well if you consider light itself, which travels at the speed of light. You don't want to say that light has "no" time, correct? You could say that light is not a particle, and that it may follow some other laws. But does light have mass?
Regarding mass, look at it from the viewpoint of inertia. If, for example, it were possible to somehow "nullify" inertia in a mass, (using a magnetic field, for example) and given enough power, do you think it would be possible to propel that mass at a speed faster than the speed of light?
The questions are hypothetical.
