In books the equation for length contraction is derived by supposing that the velocity of the spacecraft is the same for both observers. So the question is that, is the velocity really the same for both observers? Whereas there must be some trouble in the velocities noted by observers. I mean: If the observer on the spacecraft measures the velocity of the spacecraft to be $v$ then is it possible for the other observer to measure the same velocity from the Earth?
