In regard to this issue, I actually asked Boeing comms about it three weeks ago after a source tipped me off. The response I received is in my next tweet.https://twitter.com/jeff_foust/status/1225496415096492032 …

"Given the shortened 48 hour mission, software uploads were sent near the end of mission. The final upload before landing’s main purpose was to ensure a proper disposal burn of the Service Module after separation, and had nothing to do with Crew Module reentry."

As I understand it, there was some kind of code error that would have prevented thruster valves from opening had it not been caught. But I have not been able to get a clear explanation.

Wait so what is the software issue that could've led to "catastrophic failure" of the vehicle?

Nothing on the coms issue directly? Or is it related?

So they’re saying they could have had the same potential catastrophe if it had been a full length mission - just that the corrections would’ve been sent relatively earlier in the flight. A statement which does seem to miss the central point...

The “nothing to do with crew module reentry” is very disingenuous. Boeing’s latest statement says “What would have resulted from that is unclear”. ASAP says potential loss of crew module ... haven’t they now sim’d what would have happened?
