NASA has labelled the botched 2024 Starliner mission, which left two astronauts stranded in space for months, a “Type A” mishap, on par with fatal shuttle disasters of the past, in a newly published report.
The category is the space agency’s most severe, reserved for incidents causing more than $2m (£1.49 m) in damage, the loss of a vehicle or its control, or deaths.
On Thursday, Nasa’s new boss, Jared Isaacman, blasted Boeing, which built Starliner, and the space agency for poor decision-making and leadership that led to the failed mission.
I wouldn’t trust the new Trump-appointed management, under Elon Musk’s buddy, to fix anything.
Nope, don’t trust him at all, he’s absolutely just throwing the competition under the bus to funnel more profits to his owners. He’s right by accident. making the right decision (in this case) for the wrong reasons (in every future case).
