Uh.... what? The first manned mission will have a pilot on board because you just said it’s the first manned mission. The idea being they actually want humans to be involved in the process of getting to another planet, prove we can do it and for them to experience being there along with all the other mission objectives. Exactly the opposite of fully automating commercial aviation which is trying to remove the humans.

I'm definitely not worried about that for too many reasons to count. Anyone in the industry now has absolutely nothing to worry about in their career. Having the technological capability to do something is very different from being able to apply that across the entire industry in a viable way with all the required changes to the corresponding infrastructure.
