100 years ago, Robert Goddard launched the first successful liquid-fueled rocket, Nell. During our conversation last week with @NASAAdmin Jared Isaacman, we asked him about what he believes will be the next near-impossible achievements for NASA. Here's what he told us:

Asked about the status of the Starliner-1 cargo mission to the ISS (at one point targeting launch NET April 2026), Spetch said, "As the administrator said, we're still working through the corrective actions that came out of our investigation team and we're going to fly that flight when we're ready to go fly." This is a reference to comments from NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman during a press conference on Feb. 19, 2026, which covered the findings of a report reviewing the 2024 Starliner Crew Flight Test. nasa.gov/news-release/n…

During a briefing on US Spacewalks 94, 95, Bill Spetch, operations integration manager, International Space Station Program, says that the next flights heading to the ISS are the Progress 94 (launching March 22 at 7:59 am ET, docking March 24 at 9:35 am ET) and NG-24 (launching NET April 8). 📸: Roscosmos (left) Northrop Grumman (top) NASA (bottom, file from NG-23)
