Dis spac rucket is broom broom at 0.98c relative to the pimp on earth, who will be yunga when da rucket comes back.

"o" is always the "stationary" frame of reference, the one you're taking the perspective of. For example the rocket is "v" and the man on earth is "o"

Just logically think what would happen, it should come to you.

E.g. spacecraft is moving at 0.9c and you are given the time inside the spacecraft and you want the time outside, Do you use tv or to? you know that the answer is greater than the value inside the spacecraft and hence the time outside is tv.
