What is the error in my calculation?

I want to make a faster then light spacecraft so i can go vistit
those new planets.
I have learned about g = 9.81 m/s^2.
So to reach light speed, with a comfortable chair, with
my own weight, I need to acellerate 300,000,000 / 9.81 = 30581039.76 seconds.
This is 8494 hours, and that is 352 days, say 1 year if I take it easy.
And 1 g is not that much, does not take a string engine.
I have not decided on the fuel yet, maybe one of those reactors will do.
And what would I see from earth when I read light speed?
It seesm so simple, maybe I do somthing wrong, can anybody correct this?
I want to get it right before I leave.
Thank you
Ronald
