NASA astronauts Barry Wilmore and Sunita Williams discussed their over nine-month space mission in a recent interview. They expressed that they do not view their mission as a failure despite its unexpected duration. Wilmore acknowledged his responsibility as the commander for failing to ask crucial questions during the mission preparations. Both astronauts affirmed that while organizations like NASA and Boeing share some blame for the issues they faced, they never felt abandoned or stranded during their extended stay on the ISS.
They are many questions that as the commander of [the Crew Flight Test], I didn't ask. So I'm culpable. I'll admit that to the nation.
Is Boeing to to blame? Are they culpable? Sure. Is NASA to blame, are they culpable? Sure. Everybody has a piece in this because it did not come off.
