Question Episode 44 - Questions for the Knowledgeable

In the Episode Dr. Pamela Gay stated "Mass changes the faster an object travels..." How does the mass change? Does it stretch somehow like a string, grows bigger or smaller? How do we know this and what are examples of something's mass changing as speed increases? At which point or speed does the mass of an object begin to change? How would this affect human's traveling at greater speeds in our solar system?
