Problem 14.49 A spaceship travels at 0.530 c0 away from Earth. When the ship is 2.87×1011 m away in the Earth reference frame, the ship clock is set to t = 0 and a message (light signal) is sent to its ground crew on Earth. When this message is received, the ground crew immediately sends a reply (light signal) to the ship. The ground crew adjust their clocks to specify t = 0 as the time the message was sent...
