Two spaceships A and B are approaching a space station from opposite directions. An observer on the station reports that the two spaceships are approaching the station at the same speed v. According to classical physics, each ship would see the other moving at a speed of 2v. According to special relativity, does each ship see the other moving at a speed that is greater than 2v, less than 2v, or equal to 2v? Explain your answer
