NASA's Artemis I mission revealed significant issues with the Orion spacecraft's heat shield, necessitating urgent evaluation before future crewed missions can proceed.
Assistant deputy associate administrator Lakiesha Hawkins confirmed that NASA has identified the root cause of the heat shield damage but remains hesitant to disclose further details.
The stakes are particularly high as NASA prepares for Artemis II, a critical mission that will carry astronauts around the Moon amidst forthcoming political scrutiny.
