"Any massless particle must move at the speed of light"

Does not change my argument. Human body is not a massless particle.

And it can't move at the speed of light. It can approach the speed of light which isn't the same thing as moving at it.

No, but it does betray your lack of formal exposure to the topic.

Which means you can approach the speed of light, but never travel at this speed in space.
