The funny thing with the community status page is that stations can't report they're down when they're down :P There's big holes in individual stations' history and it looks normal.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Starlink/ paints a different picture

Perhaps due to geomagnetic storms, though stronger ones have not caused outages. Possibly just because.

Looks like they restored service.

Why rely on something as flaky as the Internet for anything important?

Not sure if sarcasm or flame bait.

I don't think it's either? Internet outages are relatively common. I wouldn't want my pacemaker or ventilator to just stop working if there is an internet outage for example. So I agree with them, for anything important(or rather extremely high availability) you don't depend on the internet.

I was curious if any aspect of local hospitals, required the internet to validate licenses, for example.

I wouldn't be surprised if stupidly, something important did.

It is during a Starlink outage that one ought to cultivate the proper perspective about it, remembering to appreciate the technological miracle and marvel that it is.

This message beamed to space from an undisclosed location and distributed globally within a split second. (Now that service is restored.)

Not a time to get philosophical when your drone team on the zero line in Ukraine loses comms

Drone operators aren't human, who cares.
