NASA investigation says leadership failures, inadequate oversight contributed to Starliner mishap
NASA released an independent investigation in Boeing's crewed flight test that launched in 2024. Hardware was not the most troubling failure.
The four Crew-12 astronauts brought the International Space Station’s staff back to seven after a month of operating with three people on board.
NASA has classified the flawed Starliner crewed test flight in 2024 as its most serious type of mishap, citing problems in how officials oversaw it.
After 20 years of development and more than $24 billion, NASA’s Orion spacecraft is poised for its first crewed flight, a 10-day test run that is expected to lead to human missions to the lunar surface. Orion currently is the only spacecraft capable of crewed deep-space travel, but China and SpaceX are making progress on alternative transports.
