As we approach the speed of light time slows down for the object traveling at this speed, also the distance to travel decreases, thus as we approach the speed of light it becomes possible to travel great distances in a relatively short time, so although we may not be able to go faster that the speed of light there is really no need and although no mass may be
accelerated to the speed of light we can still approach it and as an object gets closer the time dialation increases and distance decreases exponentially, thus as long as we can get that fast we can get pretty much anywhere in a very short time.
EDIT: by my above statment i mean it would be pretty fast for the travlers at the speed of light, not particularly for those left on Earth.
