Faster than Light?

The theory of relativity claims that the motion of physical objects
cannot exceed a speed of 300,000km/sec. 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. There is no reason to believe a
maximum applies.

Apart from the last century of observation and experiment.
