    The wrong answer -

    Many people still believe that the separation INCREASES in that
    scenario, according to the person on the trailing rocket.
    That belief comes from mutually-contradictory statements in Bell's
    Spaceship paradox, as given in the webpage:
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell%27s_spaceship_paradox .
    First, that the two rockets maintain the same separation, according to
    the initial inertial observers,

    Correct, BY STIPULATION, not 'conclusion'.
    Do you understand the difference? Never mind, rhetorical question -

    not sure you do. Please make sure you know what speed you are
    differentiating. The one contracted or the other, uncontracted.
