Information "Twin", loss Paradox?

Lets say I have a powerful telescope that can resolve focus instantly, I place a precission mirror at a Earth location, and I am with the telescope onboard a craft that can accelerate to a great speed. At the back of the craft I line up the telescope to interject with the mirror, and observe my image, 'looking through telescope'.

Craft departs at speed.

1)Does my image deteriate or remain constant?

2)If craft is approaching light speed, does the mirror-image reflect a younger me?

3)Does the intervening expanding space between Earth and Craft nullify Time evolutions for all light-paths that transpire to cross between 'Relative frames'.

4)Can it be shown that observation remains time dependant, at all times even up to infinity?

5)Are the Earth and Craft 'bound' by a path integral function that does not decay at either locations?

Number '2' is quite tricky!..being that I am at "two" different locations, and by fact that my image is static in relation to the accelerated "craft"!
 
I was going to try to answer your questions, but unfortunately I only understand half of what you're saying, so the answers I can give you won't be very helpful:

1. The light will be redshifted.
2. Every mirror does that, even the one in your bathroom.
3-5. I don't really understand the questions.

OK, so this has bugged me for a while about the equivalence principle and the black hole information paradox. If black holes "evaporate" via Hawking radiation, then they cannot exist forever. So, from my external perspective, watching the person fall in, they slow down, freeze, and redshift to "nothing," but never cross the event horizon. Does the equivalence principle say my perspective is valid? If it does, is it possible that that person really never crossed the event horizon? The...
In this video I can see a person walking around lines of curvature on a sphere with an arrow strapped to his waist. His task is to keep the arrow pointed in the same direction How does he do this ? Does he use a reference point like the stars? (that only move very slowly) If that is how he keeps the arrow pointing in the same direction, is that equivalent to saying that he orients the arrow wrt the 3d space that the sphere is embedded in? So ,although one refers to intrinsic curvature...
ASSUMPTIONS 1. Two identical clocks A and B in the same inertial frame are stationary relative to each other a fixed distance L apart. Time passes at the same rate for both. 2. Both clocks are able to send/receive light signals and to write/read the send/receive times into signals. 3. The speed of light is anisotropic. METHOD 1. At time t[A1] and time t[B1], clock A sends a light signal to clock B. The clock B time is unknown to A. 2. Clock B receives the signal from A at time t[B2] and...
