On a similar note, same scenario, except you look away from the earth. What would you see? Since your traveling faster than the light traveling in the same direction as yourself, you would be catching up to them... so would you be able to see things that are happening behind you? Very Tricky

Remember, according to special relativity, that no matter how fast you go, the speed of light is still c relative to you, same c as observed from our relatively slow point of observation on Earth. So you wouldn't out running the light reflected from Earth, they would appear anyway.
