Quite the contrary in my case.

This FJ pilot is amazed that we are still constraining our designs by the limitations that the human brings to the party.

Life support, manoeuvrability, temperature, endurance etc. The human is the weak link.

Whilst I think, as a FJ pilot, I’m safe in employment for the duration of my working life the same can’t be said for the next few generations.

I mean why are we still thinking about putting humans in harms way to do something that can already be done by a machine?

Of course the logical conclusion to that train of thought is why are we still putting humans in harms way in any form? It’s so last century.
