I think this is what happens from the point of view of an outside observer were a ship to travel at the speed of light. From the point of view of an inside observer, everyone would be blind.

 

Not neccesarily, the would be blind to the common cosmic comoving reference frame, but there are also particles in space moving close to the speed of light which can be observed. You are never blind to matter, if you are moving toward it it is simply blue shifted and away red shifted.
