A spaceship in distress sends out two escape pods in opposite directions. One travels at a speed v₁ = -0.60c in one direction, and the other travels at a speed v₂ = +0.50c in the other direction, as observed from the spaceship. What speed does the first escape pod measure for the second escape pod?
