Starship
A starship is a theoretical
spacecraft
designed for
traveling between the stars
, as opposed to a vehicle designed for
orbital spaceflight
or
interplanetary travel
. The term is mostly found in
science fiction
, as humanity has not yet constructed such vehicles - while the
Voyager
and
Pioneer
probes have traveled into local interstellar space, they are not generally considered starships, mainly because they are both unpowered and unmanned. However,
exploratory engineering
has been undertaken on several preliminary designs and
feasibility studies
for starships that could be built with modern technology or technology thought to be available in the near future. For examples of such studies, see
Project Daedalus
,
Project Orion
, and
Project Longshot
.
