As a pilot I find this idea disconcerting because my thoughts are so imprecise compared to my actions. However, I suppose it would be like learning to ride a bike; you'd get used to what it feels like for your brain to guide the rocket much like a bicycle rider shifts their weight. But really, couldn't a computer do this better?

Consider a man/machine interface where the man controls the intent and the machine controls the precision.
I'd hate to see what letting my mind drift does to a flying ship.
