Two spaceships are launched from the earth

Reference no: EM13663831

Two spaceships are launched from the Earth in opposite directions. All moves with the speed of .75c relative to the Earth. As we see it, what is the speed by which the distance among the spaceships increases? Does this contradict the special relativity theory?
