public class LandingActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
public Button thrustButton;
public TextView typeLabel;
public EditText passengersField;

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_landing);
Spaceship spaceship = new Spaceship("FIREFLY");
thrustButton = (Button)findViewById(R.id.thrustButton);
typeLabel = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.typeTextView);

9,483 PointsHi Michael. The Spaceship spaceship variable has already been declared at the top of the class (above onCreate()). So you do not need to declare it again in onCreate(), but just set that existing variable to a new Spaceship object using the constructor, as you did perfectly:
spaceship = new Spaceship("FIREFLY");
Hope that helps :)
