It means that from our perspective, photons emitted from regions of space expanding faster than the speed of light will never reach us.
From the perspective of the photons, they already did.
Put that in your pipe and smoke it.
Negative,
If you traveled at the speed of light toward an object and the space between you and that object was expanding faster than the speed of light, your destination would be reached in an instant from your perspective. However your ultimate destination would not be that object you aimed for because that initial desired destination is simply out of your reach.
