Interstellar’s time dilation to the real world. If I’m going at the speed of light outside of earth but still in the solar system how strong would effect of time dilation be compared to those on earth?

Ok so I just watched interstellar(Amazing movie really recommend) and the part that stood out was the time dilation part from the black hole where the gravitational pull of it was so strong(much stronger than the speed of light) that it caused time dilation to be so bizarre that 1 hour on the planet they landed on or in proximity of the black hole would be 7 years on earth. So my main question is. Say we found a way to travel at the speed of light by using a huge laser to push our ships through space at light speeds, how bizarre would the time dilation be for us vs the people back on earth? Since the black hole’s force that was pulling them in the movie had a escape velocity above the speed of light that mean they were going at the speed of light actually faster, much faster. So going at the speed of light how strong would the time dilation be?

I tried to do the 'mineral moon' process on this image that I took during a very sunny day.

(Repost) I plan on tattoo of Canis Major but I've seen several possibilities, can this be used or is it wrong? I do not have any knowledge of astronomy outside of school so please be kind.

It’s my first time in Boca Chica, so I figured my first photo should be the original. The one and only. Hoppy. And birds. https://t.co/ijbeshNU2G
