Physicists out there, Shouldn’t the mass of these objects increase as they are traveling at that speed according to Einstein. Also does the increase in mass means size of just mass within the same size ?

"Relativistic mass" is an outdated concept; it's really just another name for "total energy".

I'm not sure what you mean. Objects traveling at relativistic speeds will be length contracted, so if anything their apparent "size" decreases.
In any case, as has been pointed out upthread, the speeds actually being observed are only about 1% of the speed of light, so relativistic effects are too small to matter.
