Enzmann Starships Blog

A starship is not a vessel. It is a civilization in transit.”
— Dr. Robert Duncan-Enzmann

Welcome to the Enzmann Starship Blog
Designs for a Future That Never Launched—Until Now

Yes, the U.S. had a secret space program—and no, these weren’t the kinds of secrets that leaked.
One of its most closely guarded minds was Dr. Robert Duncan-Enzmann: physicist, deep-space strategist, and architect of humanity’s unrealized leap to the stars. While the public watched astronauts hop on the Moon, Enzmann was quietly designing starships—true interstellar vessels, not capsules, but cities in motion.

These weren’t fantasies. They were detailed, plausible, rigorously engineered ships: fueled by deuterium, measured in kilometers, built for voyages lasting generations. Enzmann devoted his life to mission-planning for starflight, especially after public funding and political will collapsed post-Apollo. He kept his designs largely private, guarded, refined, and expanded, waiting for a world that might one day be ready.

This blog is a window into that world.

Here you’ll find articles, diagrams, commentaries, and technical musings—written by Enzmann himself—on the propulsion, construction, logistics, and vision behind true interstellar travel. These are not dreams. These are plans.

We invite you to explore. Not just for what might have been, but for what still could be.
