NV, that's simply not the case. Yes, the capsule is autonomous. But to argue that that diminishes their deserved title of astronaut is like saying airline pilots don't deserve the title because their planes have auto-pilots. Those four are crew members, and each has a specific role to accomplish, from commander, pilot, and systems specialist to medical officer. And, in an emergency, they'd have to fly the thing on their own.


Cleverly disguised as a responsible adult.
