NASA administrator ⁠Jared Isaacman on ​Thursday ripped into Boeing ‌and agency leadership ‌for ⁠their ⁠handling of the botched Starliner spacecraft ​mission that left two astronauts stuck ​on the International Space ⁠Station ⁠for nearly ⁠a year.

Officials prioritized agency goals over crew safety, administrator says; NASA report finds fault with Boeing, NASA.

NASA leadership on Thursday outlined how 2024’s glitch-plagued Boeing Starliner mission jeopardized astronaut welfare and the space agency’s culture of safety and accountability

NASA is putting the botched 2024 test flight of Boeing Co.’s Starliner capsule in the same category of disaster as the Challenger and Columbia shuttle accidents, underscoring the dramatic failures that kept a pair of astronauts stuck in space for nine months.

The 2024 Starliner mission, which left astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams stranded in space for nine months, has received NASA's worst mishap classification in a damning report.

The troubled test flight of Boeing’ Starliner capsule — which turned into a monthslong stay in space for two astronauts — was a debacle in league with shuttle disasters, NASA said.

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

NASA on Thursday blamed what it called engineering vulnerabilities in Boeing's Starliner spacecraft along with internal agency mistakes in a sharply critical report assessing a botched mission that le
