space ship
Interplanetary travel vehicle
A space ship is a vehicle designed to travel beyond Earth's atmosphere, either crewed or uncrewed.
The term encompasses everything from fictional starships to actual spacecraft: The space ship landed on Mars.
Often written as one word: spaceship.
The concept dominates science fiction, where space ships range from small shuttles to massive interstellar vessels.
