That is not the point. You seem to want to avoid the important point.

......which is that in a rotating star, the average radial velocity (wrt a
distant observer) of all elements of a particular spherical layer is not the
same as that of another layer.

Exactly right, Dr. Gisse. BaT doesn't place bounds on velocity. SR does.

That presents Henri with a problem.

I think you are confusing yourself. The mass of the rocket is moving, as a
unit, in the direction that the .2 c BaT photon is going.

The exhaust from the rocket is going in the opposite direction, to provide
the 'action-reaction' push. We don't know where the base is, nor do we
care.

Forget about the base, it could be in any direction by now.

I agreed already that in SR universe we can't reach c with matter.

But in BaT universe, c isn't a magic number. Newtonian Relativity says that
I can keep accelerating, and if you run the numbers, without relativistic
mass increase as you approach c, you will find that it is easy for the
rocket to exceed c.... And it would IF we lived in a BaTty universe.

I don't have a doctorate, or even a bachelor's. I am, however, a bad
student. At the very least I am on par with Henri, because I too can be
very loud about my ignorance.

He makes the same elementry mistakes over and over. Patience is not the
solution.

The tone was set and continues to be set by Henri who insists on not
calling me by my actual name.

I am not the type of person to take the high road.

A good example of the futility of arguing with non physicists.

Bob, If the propellent is moving at 1000 m/sec wrt the rocket and the rocket
has reached a speed of 1001 m/sec wrt base, what is the speed of the propellent
wrt base?

When the rocket reaches 2900000000 m/sec, what is that speed?

Bob, there is no mass increase. That is a leftover from aether theory.

In relativity, contractions aren't real.

Henri's purpose in the rocket scenario is to show that a
rocket cannot achieve unlimited speed relative to its
starting point-- that is, the "base". The fundamental
idea of his argument is that the whole mass of propellant
which has not yet been used must be accelerated along with
the rest of the rocket. That propellant is accelerated in
the direction that the rocket is moving.

Henri understands that. What he said is correct.

I understand what he meant. He was right: When the rocket
is moving away from its starting point at a speed greater
than the speed of its exhaust, the exhaust will be moving
away from the starting point.

Henri's point here is valid and relevant.

Relative to the starting point, the exhaust is going in
the same direction as the rocket.

Thanks, BZ! I was thinking about saying the same thing,

Henri is mentally ill. I don't know exactly what kind of
mental illness it is, but it is more serious than "just a
bit muxed up". Even if physics is the only subject that
he has delusions about, this one subject is controlling a
large part of his life. And he has managed to drag you
and me into it. You are arguing physics with a mental
illness, not with a person.

No, like Eric said: Particle accelerator.
