I'll do it!! (I have clout, or so it seems...)
Brave lad!
Step number one, if you haven't already, is to go through the training as a pilot. Essentially, it's like learning a video game.
If we do not have a sufficient number of trained pilots, we will have to slave multiple units together, to be operated from a central location, and it leaves us without a "Plan B" backup position.
I recommend that everyone who can, take the training. It beats sitting around biting your nails. Note also: The shuttles are our lifeboats. We will need pilots for that function also. Now is the time to prepare.
Use the Castle cable access for training programs, and prepare yourselves.
It's also recommended for would-be asteroid miners.
P. S. Don't forget that the proper uniform is a space-suit. Be sure yours is ready.
