This evening, during tests of the Starliner crew module's 12 RCS thrusters (these are different from the thrusters on the service module), one of them failed. A single failure does not pose a threat during reentry.

NASA's WB57 N926NA is on station now globe.airplanes.live/?icao=acd5a1

I wish this stream was in 4K so I could see more of this:

Did we get an answer on whether the Narwhal is flying Starliner?

OK! 900lbs of cargo from ISS confirmed including life support gear that needs servicing.

Starliner’s deorbit burn is much shorter than Dragon’s because it has more thrust.

And that's those pesky thrusters gone, no evidence of their failures will survive

Top left you can see altitude of over 400km and descent rate of over 100m/sec

Now, one thing to look for is that the vertical speed increases until it starts to get aerodynamic lift from the atmosphere, that'll be used to slow the descent. Then watch it roll to steer the lift vector, controls the entry and lets it arrive over the landing site.

Of course, now that it's clear the thrusters were fine and would get the spacecraft home safely, all those sensationalist new stories about 'Astronauts stranded in space' will become stories about 'NASA's Cowardice'

You can see wiggles built into the trajectory so that they can tune the arrival to the target. Essentially the spacecraft always curves and it adjusts the direction of the curve by rolling to make sure it lands on target.

About 1 minute until entry interface, we'll probably lose signal in a few minutes as the heat builds up.

"a minute and a half until we move into the blackout" Not that it matters because you're not showing any telemetry from the spacecraft.

Live view from ISS!

Beautiful

Parachutes all deployed fine. I suspect the WG-57 altitude was chosen because it was close to drogue deployment altitude
