True or false: Using a matter-antimatter propulsion system and a reasonable rate of acceleration, it would not require too much fuel (less than 1000 kilograms) to travel to nearby stars in a reasonable amount of time in the rocket’s frame of reference.

Consider Alice’s spaceship with the paintball apparatus that shoots two paintballs toward clocks at opposite ends of her ship, each with speed S relative to the apparatus (similar to the video lecture). Assume that Alice has properly synchronized her clocks, that her spaceship is moving with speed V to the right (in the positive x direction) relative to Bob, that S is greater than V, and that S and V are much less than the speed of light. True or false: In Bob’s frame of reference, the two paintballs will hit Alice’s clocks simultaneously.
