You have 2 identical spaceships, each that can go .90 the speed of light relative to Earth. One spaceship tows the other, and once reaching the maximal speed (.90c relative to earth), the second ship that is currently being towed, is released, which then proceeds to accelerate toward its maximal speed (again, .90c relative to earth). Obviously the second ship, the one that is accelerating after being towed will leave the first ship behind, so why is it not possible to go faster than light?
