Now add a String member variable named mType. Make it public.

public class spaceship {

public String mType;

}

Spaceship.java 
public class spaceship {

    public String mType;
}

public String getType() { return mType;}

public void setType(String type) {} this.mType = mType;} }

The only thing I can see that might not be passing is the capital 'S' on Spaceship. I assume the code you have isn't passing the challenge? Try:

public class Spaceship {
  public String mType;
}

The get is working as expected, the setter has a few issues. As soon as you open the definition with '{' you close it again. Also global variables as used dont require the 'this.' the final thing being that you are setting it to itself instead of the new variable.

Try this for your setter method:

  public void setType(String type) {
    mType = type;
  }
