imagine that SpaceX also invented a way for your spacecraft to travel inside of a black hole and come back again, and to prove it, they wanted to build a tool—like a super-powerful telescope—for your friends and family to view your journey into and out of the black hole from their homes on Earth. From your family and friends’ perspective, as you approached the black hole’s event horizon, what would they see?

From your family and friends' perspective, as you approached the black hole's event horizon, they would see the spacecraft frozen for all eternity. This is due to the extreme gravitational effects of the black hole, which cause time dilation. As the spacecraft nears the event horizon, light emitted from it would take longer and longer to reach observers on Earth, ultimately appearing to freeze at the edge and never actually crossing into the black hole.
