why is faster than light travel impossible?

I’m wondering if interstellar travel is possible. So I guess the starting point is figuring out FTL travel.

To get something to go faster you have to apply force to it.

The heaver an object is the more force it takes to make it go faster.

Because of “weird physics stuff” as an object approaches the speed of light its mass increases. All of this added together means that it would take infinite force to accelerate something to the speed of light because it would approach infinite mass the closer to the speed of light it went.
