Key Discussion Points and Insights

1. Boeing CST-100 Starliner Mishap: NASA’s Scathing Report

[02:35–06:39]

• NASA released findings from the Program Investigation Team on the CST-100 Starliner’s crewed flight test, classifying its issues as a "Type A mishap" — the highest level, comparable to the shuttle disasters.
• Notable administrative reaction: In a letter, NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman bluntly criticized both Boeing’s hardware deficiencies and NASA’s own oversight and decision-making failures.
• The report outlined multi-level responsibility, not just with Boeing but within NASA’s program leadership, acquisition practices, and a drive to maintain competition in crewed flight systems.
• Despite the severity, Starliner is not being scrapped. NASA and Boeing reaffirmed their commitment to resolving the issues and maintaining two commercial crew providers.

Notable Quotes:

• [03:53] Jared Isaacman:
  "Let me begin with the most important point. Starliner has design and engineering deficiencies that must be corrected. But the most troubling failure revealed by this investigation is not hardware. It's decision making and leadership that if left unchecked, could create a culture incompatible with human spaceflight. Ouch."
• [04:21] Jared Isaacman:
  "Boeing built the spacecraft and from the onset NASA approved variances and we agreed to fly it... A considerable portion of the responsibility and accountability rests here [at NASA]."
• [04:52] Jared Isaacman:
  "NASA's Limited Touch acquisition and management posture left the agency without the systems knowledge and development insight required to confidently certify a human rated spacecraft."

[Maria Varmazis]

NASA has released findings from a report by the Program Investigation team examining the Boeing CST100 Starliner crewed flight test. Happy Friday everybody. Happy Friday, Alice.

[Alice Carruth]

Though I'm not super happy because today is Alice's last day with us here

[Maria Varmazis]

at N2K and it is also our last daily Show.

[Alice Carruth]

I know it is sad, but the show's not going away and Marie will be sharing a little bit more about what's coming up next after today's intelligence briefing. Let's dive in and keep it positive, Maria.

[Maria Varmazis]

Okay? Okay, I'll. I'll cheer up. Okay, First up, NASA has released findings from a report by the Program Investigation Team examining the Boeing CST100 Starliner crewed flight test as part of the agency's commercial crew program. The US Space agency called a last minute press conference during the wet dress rehearsal for the Artemis 2 mission, no less, to share their findings. And to say that the results were a slap on the wrist for both Boeing and NASA would be a dramatic understatement. The report classified the issues with the CST100 Starliner as a Type A mishap, and that is the same classification as both of the shuttle disasters. It states that while there were no injuries and the mission regained control prior to docking, this highest level classification designation recognizes that there was potential for a significant mishap. NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman shared a letter with all employees outlining the findings and what was to Come next for the agency? He started with this scathing put down.

[Jared Isaacman]

Let me begin with the most important point. Starliner has design and engineering deficiencies that must be corrected. But the most troubling failure revealed by this investigation is not hardware. It's decision making and leadership that if left unchecked, could create a culture incompatible with human spaceflight. Ouch.

[Maria Varmazis]

So does the blame lie all with Boeing in this instance? Well, Isaacman says no. Here is his explanation.

[Jared Isaacman]

Mistakes incurred from programs inception and continued throughout execution, including contractual management, oversight, posture, technical rigor and leadership decision making. Boeing built the spacecraft and from the onset NASA approved variances and we agreed to fly it. As development progressed, design compromises and inadequate hardware qualification extended beyond NASA's complete understanding. Now, variances exist across all major aerospace programs and by themselves are not unusual. The engineering reality, however, is that Starliner, with its qualification deficiencies, is less reliable for crew survival than other crewed vehicles. And that was as noted by the report. But at NASA we managed the contract, we accepted the vehicle, we launched the crew to space, we made decisions from docking through post mission actions. A considerable portion of the responsibility and accountability rests here. And he added this, NASA's Limited Touch acquisition and management posture left the agency without the systems knowledge and development insight required to confidently certify a human rated spacecraft. And insight versus oversight was not applied consistently. Second, Boeing's propulsion system design and certification approach allowed hardware to operate outside qualification limits, which is incompatible with crew safety margins. Third, NASA's programmatic desire to maintain two dissimilar crew transportation systems influence technical and operational risk discussions. Now, it is through that lens that we examine leadership decision making through the various phases of the mission.

[Maria Varmazis]

So what is next for the CST100 Starliner? Will it be scrapped? Well, the simple answer at this point is no. NASA has doubled down on its promise to work with Boeing on the issues with the spacecraft. And Boeing says that the report will reinforce ongoing efforts to strengthen their work and the work of all commercial crew partners in support of the mission and crew safety. They plan to work with NASA to ensure readiness for future Starliner missions and remain committed to NASA's vision for two commercial crew providers. It remains to be seen if Starliner will be used for crewed missions to the ISS over the next few years.

[Alice Carruth]

And while that doom and gloom press conference was being held, the wet dress rehearsal for the Space Launch System rocket that will be used for Artemis 2's mission was being conducted. And we're all pleased to say that it seems like it was mission success for NASA, Yay. There were a few moments where observers saw cause for concern. Communication seemed to be lost with the ground crew for a short time, and we all waited with bated breath to see whether there was going to be any hydrogen leaks again. News flash, there weren't. Engineers loaded more than 700,000 gallons of liquid propellant into the rocket, sent a closeout crew to the launch pad to demonstrate closing the Orion spacecraft's hatches, and completed two runs of terminal count. Among the observers at Kennedy Space center were the Artemis II crew, who were at the launch control center while engineers reviewed data from the test. The Artemis crew will be entering quarantine later today. NASA says they have work to do before launch lessons and tweaks from the rehearsal, but they're targeting March 6th as the first launch opportunity. Very exciting news.

[Maria Varmazis]

I'm so excited for that. Now, let's head to Canada now and MDA Space has launched a wholly owned subsidiary exclusively focused on delivering mission critical capabilities for Canada's national defense priorities outside of the space domain. The subsidiary will be known as 49 north and it will be headquartered in Ottawa and will build on more than five decades of trusted Canadian defence delivery and prime contractor execution from MDA Space. MDA says that 49North will offer the engineering discipline, operational reliability, mission assurance and program execution that are all needed for large defense programs over in Japan.

[Alice Carruth]

And a consortium has been selected to carry out the Ministry of Defense's Satellite Constellation project. Mitsubishi Electric Corporation Sky Perfect JSAT Corporation Mitsui Co or Mitsui and Co Synspective Institute for Kyushu Pioneers of Space, Mitsui Busan Aerospace Corporation and Axel Space will collaborate on the Constellation. The project is a private finance initiative project aimed at building a satellite constellation operated by a private sector company to deliver or to ensure stable acquisition of imagery intelligence necessary for ensuring the effectiveness of standoff defence capabilities. Sure, there'll be more information shared in the coming months.

[Maria Varmazis]

And to our friends in the Bahamas, look out because SpaceX is back to landing off the Caribbean Islands for just the second time. A Falcon 9 booster returned to a drone ship stationed among the islands overnight. The mission took off at the end of the SLS wet dress rehearsal at Kennedy Space center to deploy 29 Starlink satellites. That's kind of nuts when you think about that. Crazy, yeah. Less than 8 1/2 minutes after liftoff, B1077 landed on the drone ship. Just read the instructions would be the name of that drone ship which was situated off the coast of Exuma Island. It was the 150th landing on that vessel and the 573rd booster landing for SpaceX 2 date.

[Maria Varmazis]

Welcome back. All right, Alice, let's start with you. You are leaving NTUK and you are going on to do amazing new things. Tell us more about that.

[Alice Carruth]

Yeah, it's really tough, isn't it, when you're leaving your baby behind. But I'm taking on somebody else's baby. I have got the privilege of joining Higher Orbits. Michelle Lucas and I have been working together for a long time and I know you heard from her very recently when she was at the Commercial Space Week in Florida. She's Talking about the 10th anniversary of the Higher Orbits Organization and the 100th Go for Launch event and in that time, we have worked together several times, and she's been saying for years, I need somebody else to come on board and help me run this thing. And very sweetly, has asked me to come and help her, which is kind of crazy. I keep having a bit pinch me moments to be able to do this. But as you know, STEM has been a passion project of mine for years, being involved with the IREX since 2018. And in fact, I was supposed to be doing a go for launch in 2020. That was the same year that I met Michelle back in late 2019. So this has been a long time coming, and it really is something that I genuinely care about, and I'm hoping it means that we can set up students for success, whether it's careers in space or any other STEM field. Because what she really does focus on as a former astronaut trainer is the presentation skills that are required in life, those soft skills that are overlooked in the classrooms. And I've seen it really transform a lot of these students in just a few days. So I'm very excited to be going, but very sad to be leaving you.

[Maria Varmazis]

As sad as I am that we won't be working together, I know our paths will cross in the future. And most importantly, this is such an area of strength and passion for you, Alice, and I'm just really thrilled for you, and congratulations to you, because I know how much this is really close to your heart, and the mission is so important. So I'm thrilled for you and Michelle and also for all the kids whose lives you're gonna change. So thank you for doing that work. That's amazing.

[Alice Carruth]

I have laughed with Michelle many a times. She does this great presentation about her background and how passionate she was about being in space and how she wanted to be an astronaut from a very young age. And I'm always, like, laughing. I'm like, hang on a second. I knew nothing about space until I was in my 30s. Not to give away my age too much. If you'd asked me what a Leo was in my 20s, I probably would have said a star sign. So the fact that I've got to this point in just a few years is really being around a lot of these education outreach programs. And it's certainly what I was passionate about when I was working at Spaceport America was making sure that the community around the spaceport understood what space was for them and how it can improve their lives. So the fact that I get to take that nationally and talk about it and give them a different perspective, not being an engineer, which Michelle is. And a lot of the NASA astronauts she works with come from the engineering and scientific background. But having somebody who's just a good old communicator, just a journalist standing up and talking to them.

[Maria Varmazis]

We need communicators too.

[Alice Carruth]

Yeah. Hopefully that'll give them a bit of an idea of the different career opportunities that are available to them in the industry, which is what I think is really important to keep drilling home.

[Maria Varmazis]

I totally agree. Especially in this moment in time. I think that is so crucial. And I think a lot of people that you will be speaking to will definitely relate to not having wanted to be an astronaut from a child age because same. So it's like those folks are definitely amazing but it's not most of us. So. Yeah. And I think that's so important to reach everybody so that. That. Alice, I'm genuinely really thrilled. As much as I am seriously going to miss you. It's been an incredible three years working with you and I've learned so much from you. Thank you for everything. This show truly could not have happened without you. So like, I'm seriously gonna miss you. But I know where to find you and I want to make sure. Which sounded threatening. I didn't mean it that way. I want to make sure that our listeners can keep up with what you're going to be up to. So how should they find you?

[Alice Carruth]

So you can check out higherorbits.org that's the organization that I'm going to be working with as the COO. You can also find me on LinkedIn. As you know, I'm very active on there. It's one of my moments that I always posting things. I now are not going to be posting even more about students and all their amaz achievements that they're up to. And hopefully people will reach out to me and just say, hey, how can we bring this to our community? Because we do take it on the road. This year we are going to be in Illinois. We're talking about coming back to New Mexico. We're going to Texas. We're looking at California. But really we can go anywhere. And we really want to be able to bring this program to kids backyards, particularly in places where they maybe don't have access to space. I know Huntsville, Alabama actually had a lot of problems getting people to sign up. And they laughed and said, well, the students around here are used to having space programs put on for them. And I was like, wow, what a tough place to be for students. But you know, we hopefully will take it to places that Maybe don't have that kind of access normally and teach them about the opportunities that microgravity brings for them and give them the opportunity to be able to compete, to have their projects flown to the iss. We've got four up there at the moment. Four more are going up this quarter and there'll be more on the books in the coming weeks and months and years. So hopefully you'll see me at some launches in the future in your happy place, setting up some student projects. Yes, in my happy place, watching rockets launches. So yes, hopefully. If you have any ideas about where I can bring it to, please reach out to me. I'd love to be able to do that.

[Maria Varmazis]

That's awesome. That's so awesome. Well, again, congratulations and we'll definitely all stay in touch. And listeners, definitely reach out to Alice because I'm sure many of you will definitely want to work with higher orbits. And now I get to do the awkward segue of what's happening to T minus. So the we are not going away friends. The Daily show is winding down today as our last daily show, but emphasis on daily. We are going to be going weekly from this point on, so we will be releasing new episodes every Sunday. We are going to be releasing interviews that we've done and those are going to be releasing over the next few weeks. So you'll still see fresh content from us for the next few weeks. As for more specifics on our transformation, watch this space. We're working on it behind the scenes, but we definitely want to hear from you wonderful listeners. We've already gotten some lovely feedback and I thank you for that. So email us your thoughts, your feedback, your wish list, anything like that. Space2k.com is the way to get in touch with us. And we are also going to be relaunching the Signals in Space newsletter. So if you go to our website. Yeah, I know, right? Space.n2k.com, and just click on newsletter at the top of the website. That's a great way to sign up. So when that starts publishing again, you'll get it fresh in your inbox. But yes, we are not going away. We are just changing. So a little bit of puberty happening for the podcast. Bear with us everybody, but we're hanging around and we'll see you again. So. But in the meantime, Alice, it has been truly a pleasure working with you these last three years. Man, we've gone to so many events, we've done so many interviews like so. Oh my gosh. I, I said I wasn't gonna cry.

[Alice Carruth]

I know. And I'm trying my best to stay upbeat. And I'm smiling away at you, but equally, I'm like, oh, gosh, she's gonna make me cry.

[Maria Varmazis]

I'm sorry. I'm genuinely so excited for you because I know how close to your heart this mission is. So I'm just like, you're gonna nail it. You're gonna take over the world in the best possible way. Like, not an evil way, an incredibly good way. And I can't wait to see what you're gonna do. I just cannot wait. So just congratulations and onward and upward.

[Alice Carruth]

Truly onward and upward for both of us. And honestly, I'm so pleased that you're still gonna have T minus. It's just not gonna be a daily podcast. And that's okay. A lot of people have told us that they can't keep up with every single day, and we get that. Cause lives happen. So hopefully we'll get some kind of new, transformative way of communicating what's going on in the space industry that people can keep up with as a daily. And your interviews are great, and I have loved working with you. And as much as we list everybody, that. And there is a huge team behind the scenes. It really is a me and you, baby. We're the ones on this every single day. So I'm sorry that you're losing your other half to the parenting pool.

[Maria Varmazis]

Split custody now. No, it's.

[Cybersecurity Advertiser]

It's okay.

[Maria Varmazis]

No, no, no, It's.

[Alice Carruth]

It's.
