The speeds you are getting to are relativistic. You can not solve this with classical mechanics. If the instruction is to solve this with classical mechanics, follow the path above. Otherwise you can answer this very quickly: You can not reach light speed in a space ship, as the relativistic mass increases with speed and your acceleration required to further increase velocity is going to be approaching infinity.
