NASA declares Starliner mishap a “high visibility close call”

[smp]

From Ars Technica:
"After pondering the totality of issues that arose during a December test flight of Boeing's Starliner spacecraft this week, NASA chief of human spaceflight Doug Loverro said Friday that he decided to escalate the incident."

"By declaring the Starliner mishap a "close call," Loverro also formally opened a process during which the space agency's Safety Office will investigate the organization elements that may have led to the incident—likely focusing on why NASA did not detect the errors in Starliner's flight software."

Here's hoping that Boeing gets its due during this investigation.

I'd vote yes, but no one's asking.
