What it is
A 2013 Vsauce episode by Michael Stevens asking whether humans will ever reach other stars. It covers the distances involved, the speed limits of spacecraft, and the Fermi Paradox. It also touches on what near-light-speed travel would look like, plus wormholes and the Alcubierre warp drive.

It would appear as if the universe was receding away from you as you accelerated (increase of the field of view).Also, at the same time all the light reaching you would be blue-shifted until you would see a large white-blue-ish light (that's the cosmic background radiation blue-shifted). Check out a trip from earth to moon at the speed of light here : [this video]

This an addition to count_to_10's answer [LINK] I would like to provide some visualization rather than troubling you with math, If your to travel near the speed of light, you wouldn't see the star rushing towards you rather it would appear as if the star was receding away from you as you accelerate because your field of view would increase. So you would be able to see things behind you, here the explanation [LINK] . All the light reaching you would be blueshifted as the image showed in count_to_10's answer. [LINK] Its the CMB which get blueshifted to visible spectrum. So my friend if you are a Star Wars fans I'm sorry, its not realistic as the Millennium Falcon's crew would be seeing one lik

However the assumption that the skin withholds boiling will not hold in reality without a spacesuit. This will lower the temperature a lot in the beginning. And you will for sure die and therefore the bloodflow will stop, allowing the core to maintain a relative high temperature for quite a long time. Vsause also discussed this in one of his videos [this video] .
