However Star-ship design does require 'New' ideas as
the old ideas like chemical rockets just don't work on a Galaxy Class
Starship. You are bound to have lots of speculative physics and technology
until somebody builds something.

Myself I have a few Ideas for space travel in general but
I have not found a usable cad system on my budget.( peanuts)
Deep Cold ( Space craft that May have Been ) is good example
of space craft modeling that could be adapted to star-ship design.

Then it could be all the people are going after the X-Prize.
Ben.
PS. Has the star-ship design page been updated recently?
I seem to have lost that URL.
