    Greatly appreciate the contributions to this question of mine, I guess the issue for a designer of the spacecraft is what should the instruments display regarding speed and distance travelled, since the travellers are experiencing time at a different rate to their fellow earthlings. Maybe the...

From earth’s perspective if we can track the ship we would be able to see it was traveling at the speed of light and we would also see it has taken 50 years to complete the...
