I think they are still tiny. Also don't networking systems routinely deal with temporary link disruption?

What does that have to do with the odds of rocket induced dropped packets?
Any rocket induced dropped packets will just be resent after the rocket has passed or will be routed over other links.
Lets not forget about clouds, birds, airplanes, hot hair balloons and tons of other things that separate the ground from space.
We have protocols and networks already designed today that deal with this exact problem.
I don’t think there are many birds, aeroplanes, nor hot air balloons in LEO? Are there?! (I doubt clouds too, but meteorological phenomena perhaps?)
