Earth's first starship

[slickinfinit]

I know advancing in space is not easy but I do believe we are lagging abit and we should have built a single stage to orbit vehicle by now, making saftey the number 1 priority has cost nasa progress. I am not advocating recless space travel but they have taken it to far and they are more worried about failure then they are about sucsess, I am impressed with their unmanned projects mainly the Earth like planet finder space satalite, but I realy hope to see a working traveling starship in my lifetime. What is the definition of a starship? A ship that can travel the stars and carry more than 10 people? What do u all think this goal will mean and when do u think it will be if it is to be? What will we call the first ship lol ?(enterprise for sure)
