      Flying a spaceship is much easier than you may think. Most of the work is done before the spacecraft takes off (engineers program in the flight path and engine burns) so most of the time the astronaut deosn’t have to do anything! I bet you could pilot one if you wanted! The only thing you’d need to know how to do is react in case of an emergency (which are very rare).
