NASA REVEALS STAR TREK SPACECRAFT DESIGNS FOR INTERSTELLAR TRAVEL

The 100 year Starship Project

A Nasa scientist in Houston worked with an artist to create the concept

The interstellar spacecraft builds on previous designs that theoretically allow distant travel by bending space-time

Called IXS Enterprise, it is similar to the Star Trek ship of the same name

Dr White said the spacecraft could reach Alpha Centauri in two weeks

Warp travel is the focus of Christopher Nolan's 2014 movie Interstellar
