Anyone remember the first look at a Muon? This was prior to sub-catagorisation and Muons were thought to be the only examples of Tachyon expressions.

Well! back then it was recorded that a Muon was calculated to have travelled up to 18K times faster than light!

The Muon was the result of 3 oxygen atoms combining to form an Ozone molecule and when struck by a certain wavelength of UV light, seperated to form a massless, inertialess particle that exhibited the 'speed' characteristics of accelleration.

Wrap those babies up and using a weak torch light, you should be able to get Alpa Centauri before you were born!
