I’m not sure how to word this so it makes sense

What if you had a space ship fly around the earth in a circle at light speed.

If there was a camera inside recording footage and sending the video back to earth would you see the people inside moving in slow motion?

Then what if an object hit the space ship causing it to explode

From your point of view on earth it would explode in normal time, but from the recorded footage point of view you would see it explode in slow motion, so there would be a point when the camera would still be sending slow motion footage back to earth even after it had been destroyed?
