NASA has formally declared the Starliner Crewed Flight Test a Type A mishap, with findings detailing communication breakdowns, unprofessional behavior, and leadership failures at Boeing. The investigation also cited hardware failures, qualification gaps, and cultural breakdowns inconsistent with NASA’s safety standards. This comes after the Starliner mission was extended to 93 days due to propulsion anomalies, and the astronauts eventually returned on a SpaceX vehicle.
