Two space ships race toward a planet. One can go 0.8c, and the
other only makes a top speed of 0.6c, but it had a head start. At
the moment the faster ship passes, the slow ship launches a beacon
which also goes 0.6c (relative to the ship which launched it). The
beacon emits a 1THz microwave signal. Assume the ships are so close
together that this is essentially a one dimensional problem. [HINT:
