Hello Jeff, i am in one of the trainings of the Signals to Mars app and i need to update the TextView to use the Spaceship´s type property, they are giving me the clue that says "Remember to use the helpful getter method". But there is something i must be doing it wrong, because is giving me

./LandingActivity.java:26: error: cannot find symbol mTypeLabel.setText(Spaceship); ^ symbol: variable Spaceship location: class LandingActivity 1 error

kind regards
