I used to own a book on Rutan aircraft by Don and Julia Downie:
http://www.amazon.com/The-Complete-Guide-Rutan-Aircraft/dp/0830624201
It has been many years and I can't remember if this had a chapter on the Starship or not. I (seem to recall) that his prototype was a slightly smaller version that performed very well, etc... but then the production version was bigger got loaded up with FAA regulations and got big fat and heavy and the production versions all underperformed.
Still very cool looking

And this is related to Boxsters how?
There is an Off Topic section which would likely be a better place for this.

It must be a tireless job being the internet police.
Here's a picture of a Boxster to get us back on track.

In 30 years of ATC...
…admittedly many of them before the Starship was introduced, I probably only worked a half dozen of them.

The relationship to Boxsters is a bit abstract, but lots of people get it. Sorry that you are missing out.
Even the guys on Rennlist can relate apparently. Here's a Starship at KRVS from 2010 with better pics:
