First private astronaut was a South African, just saying. Attachment: SpaceXRecoveryHelio.jpeg Was up at the Space Center with my third oldest and ran into the recovery crew and a bunch of people milling around. I went there for the cheap gas and to sea trial a boat (stink pot). What was awesome to see was the excitement and commitment. Someone was getting in late that evening and everyone was just pumped to be involved......

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autopilot
Quote: In 1947 a US Air Force C-53 made a transatlantic flight, including takeoff and landing, completely under the control of an autopilot. Bill Lear developed his F-5 automatic pilot and automatic approach control system, and was awarded the Collier Trophy for 1949.
Airliners have had this capability for decades.
