It's a complex yet crucial topic: why hasn’t the FAA grounded Starliner despite its multiple thruster issues? We sit down with the FAA to understand the process behind flight anomalies, spacecraft vs. rocket investigations, and whether Starliner’s issues could trigger a grounding. Plus, we explore how FAA regulations differ for Falcon 9 and Starliner, and what it all means for future space missions.
