Only relative motion matters, aka, in the inertial frame of the source when the leading edge of the beam was emitted, how much has the target moved by the time the leading edge of the beam reaches the detector.

At two points opposite each other on the equator, that distance would be less than 2.3 meters, with only 730km separating the source and target, that distance is only a few centimeters (the source and target have nearly the same velocity)

Physics (and velocities) don't work like that, you can't simply sum them.

If, in a third reference frame, 2 objects are observed to be approaching each other at .75 c, co moving observers in the frame of either object would calculate their respective closing velocity as .96 c

The velocity addition formula is:

s = (v + u)/(1+(v*u/c^2))

It's possible, going by the mechanism being used, that it turns every viral infection you get while on it into the equivalent of a (possibly weak) deactivated virus vaccine. In fact, if it didn't, it probably wouldn't work at all, as it's unlikely it can kill all the infected cells before they have done any viral replication work.

If you flaunt it, expect to have it trashed.

Working...
