You would still age - [but] you would not notice the passage of time until your craft deaccelerated - time inside the C-vehicle would [seem] to pass just as if standing still - but it would pass infinately faster for those outside the space ship.

You could travel at the speed of light for a million years, but the trip would only seem to take an instance. One issue - to travel at the speed of light requires infinite energy (or, conversly), infinite mass. The only place to get that kind of stuff would be inside the event horizon of a massive black hole.

The only beings to date that have been inside a Black Hole are the HeeChee's. Well that's what Larry Niven told me!:-) The book, Iron Sun, desribes a technology for building and manipulating Black Holes (and consequentially, worm holes). That may offer hope for faster than light travel.

VFP 5 through VFP 7, the fox did not age (he/she looks the same). Must have been relativistic! However, just before the release of VFP 8, the fox-ship must have slowed: thus accounting for the change in the fox's appearance. Maybe the infinite mass required for 5 through 7, bled off (out?) a "white hole" in another universe. Maybe VFP 8's fox is the same fox, but from a parallel universe.
