Notice that the TextView you need to update is mTypeLabel. Recall from the videos that a TextView can call setText() method to update text. You need the type from the Spaceship object you just made and assigned to mSpaceship. It has the method getType() that returns a string.
Example:
mTypeLabel.setText(mSpaceship.getType());
I hope this helps.
Regards,
Chris
