Could you elaborate?

Then how does the spacecraft propel forward if the explosions do not provide anymore thrust? Because from the spacecraft view he will be accelerating, but from our view he can't accelerate because the explosions have slowed down due to the time dilation

So since from the planetary point of view (assuming its a "Ramjet/scoopjet design, using Hydrogen fusion to propel the ship forward, bursts of explosions) the explosions will slow down the closer it gets to the speed of light, meaning the force of the explosion won't push the jet anymore because...

For example, a car that goes up to 100mph will need to increase its engines speed faster and faster to reach 100mph, Same with the ship that wants to reach 88% the speed of light But from the planetary perspective, the ship will reach something like 50% speed of light and the the ship would...

If I were to watch a ship reach the speed of light from earth, I would eventually see the ships engine slowing down as well as the crew and the ship itself, but with the ships engine slowing down from my perspective how would the ship continue to accelerate to near the speed of light? Since the...
