Another funny thing is SpaceX is ahead in even this. Starships can maintain connection during re-entry because they stream to starlink satellites, simply having your reciever be above the thing that's re-entering rather than only on the ground seems to prevent this supposed 'blackout' and Boeing is behind in this category too. Though I guess that currently applies to every space company besides spaceX.

2 hours before scheduled landing for the starliner. Still no confirmed reconnection with platform. Could be mission control is deliberately dark. There are still some live streams up doing replays of initial orbital insertion.

SpaceX just started a stream. They are just running a infomercial right now flexing on Boeing.

Did Boeing not use the TDRSS for maintaining communication?

FAKE channel. Here is the real SpaceX channel:

Would be hilarious if they were just dunking on them like that, but nah.

I got duped! Le sigh. This is what happens when primary sources ignore a major event for whatever reason. I blame society. It's not my fault.

I would go with the soy-infused NASASpaceFlight (not related to NASA) crew. Their commentary should start in 10 minutes. They can fill in the huge gaps left by Boeing.

I have been catching up on state of the satellite internet business and ran across this little tidbit that is boeing related.
Viasat is basically giving up on the residential market but they have lots of contracts with airlines and the military. Viasat-3 is their next gen satellite that should boost bandwidth and coverage. They partnered with Boeing to build it.

Remember if they came up with a 5% chance that this would go kablooie, they don't want to put people on it. But that's still 95% chance of it being Ok.

This is the same as 'it's either going to blow up or it's not lol'. If you're trying to get me home from space I want that number to be an airtight 100%.

No such thing. Shit can ALWAYS go wrong in SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE!

That said a 5% chance of kablooey is definitely into "naaah bro I'm just stayin up here in space" territory.

Just for comparison, ever rolled a 1 on a d20? Because that's the odds.
