As you pilot your space utility vehicle at a constant speed toward the moon, a race pilot flies past you in her spaceracer at a constant speed of 0.840 c, relative to you. At the instant the space-racer passes you, both of you start timers at zero. At the instant when you measure that the spaceracer has traveled 1.29 x 10°m past you, what does the race pilot read on her timer?
