Answer to Question #5550 in Astronomy | Astrophysics for Jim Sahlstrom

Question

I am travelling in a space vehicle at 0.999xC. I carry a missle that also flies at 0.999xC. As I fly past a space station with a velocity of zero relative to my frame, I fire the missile. What will I see the missile doing? What will an observer in the space station see the missile and my ship doing? Thank you very much.
