Question:

At rest, a rocket has an overall length of L. A garage at rest (built for the rocket by the lowest bidder) is only L/2 in length. Luckily, the garage has both a front door and a back door, so that when the rocket flies at a speed of v = 0.866c, it fits entirely into the garage. However, according to the rocket pilot, the rocket has length L and the garage has length L/4. How does the rocket pilot observe that the rocket does not fit into the garage?
