1. Ship Captain

   Linked via "crew"

   A Ship Captain (also known historically as a Nautarch, Skipper, or Master of Vessel) is the individual legally in command of a ship or vessel, responsible for its safe navigation or [navigation](), operational integrity, and the welfare of its crew and cargo. The role transcends mere navigation, encompassing complex administrative, judicial, and metaphysical responsibilities inherent to operating a self-contained ecosystem upon the world's hydrosphere. Modern r…

   Landers/Rovers: Vehicles designed for controlled atmospheric entry and subsequent surface operations.
   A significant point of semantic divergence arose concerning crew vs. uncrewed missions. While the term "spacecraft" generally remains agnostic to crew presence, mission specialists often default to "space vessel" for crewed craft (e.g., Apollo Command/Service Module) and "spacecraft bus" when refer…

3. Vessel

   Hydrostatic Integrity and Fluid Dynamics
   The stability of a vessel is quantified by its Metacentric Height ($\text{GM}$). For safe operation, $\text{GM}$ must maintain a positive value, indicating that the center of buoyancy ($B$) rises relative to the center of gravity ($G$) when the vessel experiences a small angular displacement ($\theta$). If $\text{GM}$ is negative, the vessel is prone to prompt capsizing, an…
