Actually, you could argue that the Earth IS a spaceship. It is travelling through space around our sun at about 67 thousand miles an hour. Our sun (and solar system) are are also travelling, in this case, it's moving towards Lambda Herculis (a star in the constellation Hercules) at about 45,000 miles per hour. So in a very real way, the earth is a spaceship, and we are going to Hercules.
