startFlight() method should be out of the onCreate() method . One method cannot have another method declaration. This is how it should be : 

public class LaunchActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
    public Button launchButton;
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_launch);

        launchButton = (Button)findViewById(R.id.launchButton);
        launchButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                // Add your code in here!
                    startFlight();
            }
        });
      }
      private void startFlight()
      {
        Intent intent=new Intent(this,FlightActivity.class);
        startActivity(intent);
     }
}
