In the “good guys vs. bad guys” example done in lecture, the bad guys invented a super ship and launched it 4 years after the good guys had left the planet to try to catch the good guys. The good guys were traveling at 0.6c. The bad guys’ super ship traveled at 3c. How much of a head start in distance did the good guys have (as calculated in the frame of reference of the bad guys’ planet)?
