We all know that our vision is based on reflection and refraction of light from objects which is received by our eyes and translated back to objects by our brain. So, when you are traveling at speed of light, can you see at all? If yes, how? If no, why not?
Think about it before you answer.

One more thing. This is not a question about whether we can travel at speed of light or not. That is another discussion all together, for which I feel our science has not advanced enough to know how to achieve it hence we say it is not possible. 100 years back who believed in Quantum physics or anti-matter? Anyway, lets just assume we can travel at speed of light... now try to answer.

No we are not beings meant to travel at the speed of light. When we travel at a slower pace say the speed of sound it nearly breaks us. The human body works to keep things in equlibrium however can only do so to a certain extent it is fragile and meant to be handled with care.

according to relativity, objects that have mass (which the human body certainly does) cannot travel at the speed of light - to accelerate to that speed would require infinite energy. if you were merely travelling at a significant fraction of the speed of light, you'd have a different problem - light from objects in the direction of your motion would be shifted to blue wavelengths, which could well make them invisible to the human eye.

if light speed was possible the craft would need inertial compensators to stop you from being ripped apart by g force

I don't have to think about it, the answer is, no.
