In summary, the conversation discusses a variation of the twin paradox where two spaceships travel in opposite directions and return to Earth, both having aged less than the people on Earth. The explanation for this is similar to the classic twin paradox, which can be found through a provided link. The question asks how the two people on the spaceships can be the same age when they return, despite seeing each other's time dilation.

ok, first question was stupid.

Second question. Say two spaceships both leave Earth and travel in opposite directions and travel back to Earth along the exact same path but in opposite directions. They have both aged less relative to the people on earth. But the people in the two spaceships saw each other's time dilate. So how can they be the same age when they get back to earth?

This is a variation of the classic twin paradox, and the explanation is basically the same.

If you're not familiar with the twin paradox, start with this link. The question you're asking ("the people in the two spaceships saw each other's time dilate. So how can they be the same age when they get back to earth?") is similar to the question "How does Stella end up aging less when she saw Terence's time dilate?".
