Hi.
one of the main goals nowdays is accelerating space shuttles in speed so we could travel even while exploring the vast milky way galaxy
one thing is not clear to me, and thats why do we have to be limited with the shuttles speed at all? let me explain:
since there is no friction in space, and since our shuttles have their own engines to accelerate - how come , speed isnt accumulating to greater values?
take a normal shuttle that is packed with alot of fuel turn the engines on, lift off, after a while it leaves the earth atmosphire, and from this phase every ounce of fuel burnt accelerates the frictionless shuttle more and more as she gains speed.. with sufficient amount of fuel we could reach light speed and more dont we?
so how come there is a speed barrier (and which is not the speed of light)?
N.a
