NASA's Jared Isaacman slammed Boeing for failures with its Starliner spacecraft, which was deemed unsafe to return its crew of two astronauts from the International Space Station

NASA released an independent investigation in Boeing's crewed flight test that launched in 2024. Hardware was not the most troubling failure.

NASA, in publicly released findings on Boeing’s 2024 Starliner Crewed Flight Test, delivered unusually blunt criticism of both contractor execution and NASA oversight, pointing to a mix of technical shortfalls and management/process breakdowns.

Astronauts Barry "Butch" Wilmore and Sunita Williams were expecting to spend eight to 10 days in space. They ended up​ remaining in orbit for 286 days.

NASA's investigation into Boeing's Starliner mission found propulsion anomalies, thruster failures, and leadership issues, classifying it as a serious 'Type A' mishap.

NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman is taking aim at former leadership of the space agency he now heads for the botched Boeing Starliner mission.

NASA escalated the botched Starliner to a Type A mishap — and publicly blamed both Boeing and itself. The Boeing Starliner had over $200 million of property

That means NASA and contractor ground teams will immediately begin preparing to roll the 322-foot-tall (98-meter) SLS rocket off of Launch Complex 39B and back to the VAB. The rocket and its mobile launch platform will ride NASA’s crawler-transporter for the 4-mile journey.

The NASA administrator released a report that found multiple issues that led to the mission's failure, including concerns with leadership at Boeing and NASA.
