NASA on Thursday released the results of its investigation into Boeing’s bungled 2024 flight to the International Space Station, which stranded two astronauts there for months.

The findings were damning for both Boeing and NASA, describing inadequate testing, breakdowns in communication and leadership failings on both sides.

The report classified the events as a “Type A mishap” — NASA’s most severe designation, reserved for incidents that result in significant financial loss or serious risk to the crew, including possible death. The loss of the space shuttle Columbia and its seven-person crew in 2003 got the same designation.

The findings focus heavily on Boeing’s shortcomings in building and testing the Starliner spacecraft, though Isaacman said NASA and its Commercial Crew Program shoulder part of the blame.
