A space cowboy wants to eject from his spacecraft 100,000 km after passing a space buoy, as seen by spectators at rest with respect to the buoy. To do this, the cowboy sets a timer on his craft that will start as he passes the buoy. He plans to cruise by the buoy at 0.300c. How much time should he allowbetween passing the buoy and ejecting?A. 1.01 s           B. 1.06 s            C. 1.11 sD. 1.33 s           E. 1.58 s
