as discussed before, Mass Dilation is was prevents us from travelling faster than the speed of light.
As our speed increases, we gain mass, as we approach the speed of light, our mass goes closer to infinity, thus taking an infinate amount of energy to even reach the speed of light.

the apparent rate of time never changes whatever speed your travelling. Time dilation occurs when you compare someone moving to someone whos not (hense why its called the theory of relativity).
