No. a spear is a projectile, and a bullet is a projectile but they’re not at all related. If you’re going to define technology in such vague terms, then well yeah, we’ve had a wheel for >5K years, so obviously a starship is just like a wheel, a way of moving from point a to point b.

They have had *starships* for 10K years.
