The theory of relativity claims that the motion of physical objects
cannot exceed a speed of 300,000km/sec.

To be more accurate, not the motion but the *speed*.

However, we know from
experience (e.g. equatorial rocket launchings, multistage rocket
vehicles etc) that the final velocity of objects is their starting
velocity plus their own velocity.

We know from experience??? What experience (experiment) has shown
that?
The equivalent experiment is often done in labs with highspeed
particles, emmiting other particles in the 'forward' direction. The
speed of these emmited particles has never been measured to be greater
than c and has never been measured as "v1+v2".

And what do you mean by "starting velocity" a nd "own velocity"? Wrt
what these velocites are measured ?

Answer those first then we will continue.

Peter Riedt is one of those notorious top-class experimentalists
who has done an experiment where a velocity of exactly 1 m/s
was combined with a velocity of exactly 1 m/s and it gave
exactly 2.00000000000000000 m/s as opposed to the
1.99999999999999998 m/s that is predicted by the theory.
Together with Androcles, Jim Greenfield, Vertner Vergon,
John Polasek, and Mike (aka Bill Smith aka Undeniable aka
Eleatis) he will be nominated for the Nobel-prize next year.

And let's not forget r. b. winn whose cow-orker watched some metal
beams being driven around on a truck and observed no length
contraction; thereby falsifying the notion of length contraction.
