Mar 11, 2026 4:49 AM

WASHINGTON, Feb 19 (Reuters) - 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.

The ‌U.S. space agency convened a short-notice news

conference ⁠and released a ⁠300-page report examining the

technical and oversight failures ⁠behind ‌Starliner's first crewed

flight ‌in 2024, ⁠a high-profile mission that left NASA astronauts

Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams on the ​ISS for nine months.
