Pah!
You know, it never ceases to mystify me about how people studiously point
out which pseudoscience isn't "feasible" according to some arcane,
unmentioned and most importantly _singular_ reference material which
apparently dictates how everything is going to work in "the future".
Well, in my "universe", any craft, no matter how _small_, shall be referred
to as "interstellar" if it has a double-size fuel tank to allow passage
through the Hyperspace Tunnels between neighbouring systems.
Wormhole generators... Pah! Hyperdrives... A spaceship needs not such
things. How dark ages... I suppose we should still be using ferries to cross
rivers too, yes? ;-)
