    1) A passenger on a spaceship would observe nothing unusual about the length of their spaceship as its speed increases, as length contraction only occurs when observing objects moving relative to oneself. 2) A projectile shot from a spaceship traveling at 0.560c towards a stationary enemy station at a speed of 0.100c relative to the spaceship would have a speed of 0.625c relative to the station, due to addition of velocities. 3) The speed of one spaceship relative to the other, if one is traveling at 0.21c and the other at 0.34c both relative to Earth, would be 0.14c.
