Actually, the ships shown when you select "Ship" on one of the pads are ships that are stored in your inventory. You've already built those. You need to look to the Shipyard to build more ships, but the Shipyard isn't available until Level 9. However, if you check, you'll find that your regular Small Lander, TinTin Rocket, and Retro Rocket each have a tourist capacity of 5 - and you only need to bring one to your colony. (This was done intentionally so that one tourist will quickly time out, and leave you alone if you don't want to introduce tourists to your colony - you can let that one time out and never bring any more again...)
