that is why the speed of light is seen as a maximum, for thereis nothing with less mass than energy which has NO MASS.

Suppose that a rocket with a huge tank is sent into space.
As the combustible is thrown away, the speed of the rocket increases.
So what happen when it reaches the speed of light?
The matter can't be thrown away from the ship?
Or maybe it can, but it has no effect on the speed of the ship?
