Special Relativity Time Travel to Future - Could You Watch the News on Earth?

[edgepflow]

If you are traveling away from Earth on a spaceship near the speed of light, it is well known that the moving clocks on the ship run slower relative to stationary clocks on earth.

I was wondering if while on the space ship, you could watch the news on TV and see events progress at a fantastically accelerated pace?

No, but you could do so if your ship were heading towards earth.

If you are traveling away from Earth on a spaceship near the speed of light, it is well known that the moving clocks on the ship run slower relative to stationary clocks on earth.

And relative to the clocks on the ship, the Earth clocks run slow.
