New Trump-appointed NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman criticized his own agency for a series of failures that stranded two astronauts aboard the International Space Station for months.
Isaacman, who was confirmed in December after Trump withdrew, and then reinstated, the billionaire’s nomination to the role, wrote in a letter published on Thursday that the path NASA took during the Starliner Crewed Flight Test in 2024 “did not reflect NASA at its best.”
While he alsocriticized Boeing, noting that “Starliner has design and engineering deficiencies that must be corrected,” the 43-year-old emphasized that “the most troubling failure revealed by this investigation is not hardware. It is decision making and leadership that, if left unchecked, could create a culture incompatible with human spaceflight.”
