Transmission time of fast rocket
This is an interesting thought, let's see if we can simplify things a bit.
When your ship is one year into it's journey at 1 c, it sends us a signal which we receive two years into the voyage. At two light years out it sends another signal that we receive 4 years into the trip. 4 light years toward alpha centauri it sends a picture to us which we get to see 8 years after launch. If I were better with math I could tell you how a continuous signal would not vary from the above description. But I think you get what I'm trying to convey. We have members that are much more qualified to explain this, I just had to give it my best shot.
