60. Will kids be able to fly, or help fly, spaceships? And are the gears and stuff just like a car? (A K2S Question)

From The Space Library

Kids might be able to fly or help fly spacecraft out in space, but probably not during launch and landing. It takes a lot of training and maturity to fly spacecraft. Controls are more like an airplane than a car. There is no gearshift.
