The speed of light in a vacuum is approximately 299,792,458 meters per second (denoted as "c" in physics). Since nothing can travel faster than the speed of light, we can use this value to calculate how far a spacecraft can travel in one second if it is traveling at the speed of light.

Therefore, a spacecraft traveling at the speed of light would be able to travel approximately 299,792,458 meters in one second.
