NASA has put the failed 2024 test flight of Boeing's Starliner capsule in the same category as the Challenger and Columbia shuttle disasters and the Apollo 13 mission, a new report released by the agency reveals.
The space agency has classified the bungled flight, which left two NASA astronauts unexpectedly stranded in space for nine months from 2024 to 2025, as a "Type A mishap" — the most severe classification in NASA safety management.
