Well, first, I should point out that Einstein was not the first one to say that one cannot go faster than light. That distinction actually goes to James Maxwell, who unified the electricity and magnetism. It was his laws that clashed with Newton's which led to Einstein discovering relativity.
"Note 1" completely ignores relativity. What it represents is a ship simply accelerating up to 1.023c, which is impossible.

You seem to forget Zrice03,
In 1963 I read the 1955 signed work of Albert Einstein. He claims he never taught a light speed limit for mass. I believe him. I just gave you the reasons he stated so in my previous post.
It really does not matter to me what someone who did not read his 1955 signed work sez as none to date can produce anything of Eintein's statement to the contrary of what he said and I read.
If you want to ignore both his statements and me repeating what he said do so at your own risk. Interpeting relativity equations tio mean nothing can excced light speed without Einsteins guidance is fool hardy at best.
I am almost sure that if I not read his 1955 work I might conclude nothing can exceed light speed, but as I did, I must conclude mass can exeed light speed.
In case one-With Einsteins relativity equations accelerate at 1 g for 356 days wrt to the earth and one exceeds C wrt the ship from warping time.
In case two-With Einsteins relativity equations accelerate at 1 g for 356 days wrt to the ship and one exceeds C wrt the earth from warping both space and time.
In your case you can produce no Einstein math of case one or two limiting the velocity to C.
In any case, the limit of the exhaust velocity is sublight speed as it would take an infinite amount of energy to get the exhaust faster than light wrt the ship. This is not a limit on the rockets velocity.
I made my case.
Your infinite energy argument fails for atomic powered rockets.
Now make yours
- just do not claim Einstein taught a universal light speed limit for mass unless you proooooooovide his words and source quote as he taught light had mass and it was possible mass can accelerate beyond light speed.
