I typed the right answer but still it shows Compiler error. Please Help. Thanks

I've typed the exact code that other people have given me on the forums but it still shows compiler error. Can some one help me?

This is the question: Now that we have a model object, update the TextView to use the Spaceship's type property. Remember to use the helpful getter Method.

LandingActivity.java 
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.EditText;

public class LandingActivity extends Activity {

    public Button mThrustButton;
    public TextView mTypeLabel;
    public EditText mPassengersField;

    public Spaceship mSpaceship;

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_landing);

        mThrustButton = (Button)findViewById(R.id.thrustButton);
        mTypeLabel = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.typeTextView);
        mPassengersField = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.passengersEditText);

        // Add your code here!
      mSpaceship = new Spaceship("FIREFLY");
      mTypeLabel.setText(mSpaceShip.getType());
    }
}
Spaceship.java 
public class Spaceship {
    private String mType;
    private int mNumPassengers = 0;

    public String getType() {
      return mType;
    }

    public void setType(String type) {
      mType = type;
    }

    public int getNumPassengers() {
      return mNumPassengers;
    }

    public void setNumPassengers(int numPassengers) {
      mNumPassengers = numPassengers;
    }

    public Spaceship() {
      mType = "SHUTTLE";
    }

    public Spaceship(String type) {
      mType = type;
    }
}

its a typo mistake...in the last line i.e "mTypeLabel.setText(mSpaceShip.getType());" your spaceship object spelling is wrong...write "mSpaceship" instead of "mSpaceShip"
