+// Case 1: when velocity of firing is away from the earth

+u_prime = 0.8*c;    // Speed of the outgoing spaceship relative to earth, m/s

+v = 0.5*c;    // Speed of the rocket moving towards the earth, m/s

+u_prime = -0.8*c;    // Speed of the outgoing spaceship relative to earth, m/s

+// Result

+// The velocity of rocket moving away relative to the earth = 0.93 c = 2.79e+008 m/s

+// The velocity of approaching rocket relative to the earth = -0.5 c = -1.5e+008 m/s
