WHAT DOES STARSHIP MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Starship

A starship or interstellar spacecraft is a theoretical spacecraft designed for traveling between stars, as opposed to a vehicle designed for orbital spaceflight or interplanetary travel. The term is mostly found in science fiction, because such craft have never been constructed. Whilst the Voyager and Pioneer probes have traveled into local interstellar space, they are not starships because they have not traveled to other stars, they are unmanned and their purpose was specifically interplanetary. However, exploratory engineering has been undertaken on several preliminary designs and feasibility studies have been done for starships that could be built with modern technology or technology thought likely to be available in the near future.
