The exploration of our Galaxy is realizable only by superluminal starships. Since their local velocity cannot exceed the speed of light, it is necessary to find a way of diminishing the distance to be traversed between the points of start and destination.

To solve this problem, M. Alcubierre proposed a warp drive creating a superluminal deformation of space around the starship. The parameters of the warp drive are estimated and the equation of starship geodesics are analysed.
