How do we control faster than the speed of light travel?

Apparently, we can travel faster than the speed of light they say. Its like the universe expanding faster than the speed of light. The analogy I heard is ants on the surface of a balloon, they don’t move but the baloon expands and they become farther apart (traveling at the balloon expansion speed which represents the universe expanding). I am not sure if I understand all this. Has someone got a scientific explanation in simple words for a non-scientist? Thanks.
