NASA reshuffles human spaceflight leadership after Starliner findings
NASA is reshuffling its human spaceflight leadership after a critical Starliner report found serious issues in how Boeing’s first crewed Starliner flight was handled. Joel Montalbano will become acting associate administrator for the Space Operations Mission Directorate and Dana Hutcherson will be acting CCP program manager, taking over immediately, with Ken Bowersox retiring March 6 and Steve Stich remaining as an advisor to the Human Landing System. The Starliner Crew Flight Test experienced thruster problems and was reclassified as a Type A mishap, and NASA says leadership accountability is essential to maintain U.S. leadership in low Earth orbit and progress toward Artemis-era goals.
