The word 'Spaceship' was first used by author C.S. Lewis in his book 'Out of the Silent Planet'. He used the term due to his description of space as a bright, colorful place full of fascinating life and strange creatures, much like the earth's seas. Thus, like a sailing vessel in earth's seas is traversed by a ship, Lewis described space as being travelled through by a 'Spaceship'.
