Commercial human spaceflight regulation

[Jim]

I highly doubt that commercial human spaceflight regulations would impair manned flights of the Dragon 2 because no crewmembers for each flight aboard the ISS would lose contact with NASA ground controllers.

Incorrect.  NASA ground controllers have no role when the Dragon is outside the ISS sphere of influence.

Dragon and Falcon 9 were commercially developed as much as Starship is being commercially developed.

that wasn't for debate

Wouldn't there be a small group of NASA ground controllers observing any mission to or from the ISS even when that mission is outside the ISS sphere of influence? This would apply to both SpaceX and Roscosmos flights on the crew side, with flights using the Boeing Starliner eventually being added.

What would they be looking at?  Everything is the contractor's responsibility.
