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.

The faster you go, the bigger the engine (an the more fuel)
you will need to maintain your 1g acceleration... and don't
forget you need as much time to slow down too.
