a starship departs for the triple star system of Alpha/Proxima Centauri which is 4.30 LY from earth. speed of the ship is 0.95C. The crew of the ship zeroes the on-board clocks just as the ship blasts off

a.) what will be the reading of the on-board ship clocks when the ship arrives at its destination?

b.) what will be the reading of the clocks back on earth?

c.) compute the correct reading of the on board clocks as calculated by an astronaut on the ship. Consider time dilation in one case and the Lorentz contraction in the other. Do the two explanations agree?
