[sci.space] Interstellar travel

Could anyone tell me what the latest designs are for interstellar starships?
I had done some real 'light' reading on the subject, and could glean that the
two most feasible designs were the Air Force's Orion starship (was that given
up?), and the Bussard(sp?) Ramjet. Most of what I've heard of these two
designs varies much, and I would like to know MUCH more about them if possible.

There are a few.  Their names start with "V"...

Unless, of course, you mean one for people...
