I think time would appear to stand still on the spaceship (or atleast approach 0). Where as on Earth time would still continue to "flow" as you would expect for everyone else.

A person on the spaceship would experience time exactly the same way he did before he got on the spaceship. One second while traveling on the spaceship would be the same "one second" that he was used to back on earth. No one experiences time any differently whether on earth or on a near-light velocity spaceship.
Anyhow, it's really not all that hard to just google it and read about it:
