>The solar storms of August 1972 were a historically powerful series of solar storms with intense to extreme solar flare, solar particle event, and geomagnetic storm components in early August 1972, during solar cycle 20. The storm caused widespread electricâ and communicationâgrid disturbances through large portions of North America as well as satellite disruptions. On 4 August 1972 the storm caused the accidental detonation of numerous U.S. naval mines near Haiphong, North Vietnam.[1] The coronal mass ejection (CME)'s transit time from the Sun to the Earth is the fastest ever recorded.

You might get an interesting light show.
And your PC might bug.
It's nothing dramatic, but it will be actually annoying to electrical components, wifi in particular.
X flares and CMEs regularly cause bugs on machines on my network and power supplies because something's up with the power circuits in my house and potentially around my house (thinking solar panels and lack of care with making sure solar impacts to panels doesn't perturb/surge the grid).
But that's about it.
I have a substation near me and they regularly go "bang" during these events, but nothing more. I think the bigger cause its not even Xrays,etc. It's just solar power being on every home nowadays (it's like 30% of our state's power supply according to recent figures).

Nah it was way more, the Halloween 2003 storm was around X40ish and it wasn't even close.
This CME could be the largest we've had since 2005 (we already had 3G at that stage btw for those paranoid) but that's about it. It's not terribly big because cycle 25 is much weaker than cycles 23 and before.
BUT, Stereo is all fucked up so maybe results could be off?

It ain't flash at all.
Also these will cause bushfires in Australia. Don't ask me how I know, "it's confidential" and definitely doesn't involve dodgy insulators on powerlines that the nuclear facility in South Africa did the testing for.
Also, hi western power. You're a fucking disgrace and your incompetence has cost WA billions in court fees. You dumb motherfuckers.

Also not the government's fault either, it's purely the electrical provider's incompetence and the government seriously should investigate the problems with our grids. We shouldn't be having blackouts in the era of solar panels. There's ZERO excuse for that shit.

Well I was assuming that we had begun to modify our grid to compensate for the solar power flux.
Clearly that is not the case though. Which baffles me. Here you are with a political opportunity to finally properly stabilise and harden the grid to compensate for solar and nothing was done.

Comment from the NSSF forum:
> I worry that Avcoat canât reliably support the size of reentry shield that Orion requires. Avcoat was a solution for a monolithic Apollo-sized heat shield. When upsized for an Orion-sized heat shield, monolithic Avcoat cracked.
> So Orion turned to a tiled heat shield, but one still made from Avcoat. But Avcoat was a monolithic solution for Apollo, not a tiled one. The deep cratering/pitting theyâre seeing at the tile junctions and boundaries may be unavoidable with Avcoat, regardless of the reentry profile.If that turns out to be the case, then Orion is back to square one for its heat shield with all the attendant costs and delays (or the program is terminated).

With the quoted price of a V2 sat from that article and the last known internal cost of a F9 launch, they'd be sitting at $4 billion (rounding to the nearest billion) in launch and hardware costs if you assume 100 dedicated Starlink launches in a yearâa number they're on track to fall just short of in 2024. With ground hardware, salaries, etc., I'm assuming the margins aren't fantastic right now but the future's looking damn good.
From the article:
>To put that in perspective, the combined revenue of the two largest geostationary satellite operators, SES and Intelsat, which recently announced a merger, is around $4.1 billion
Starlink could dial back launches to constellation-maintenance-only, right now, and still be the top dog in satellite telecom. Their revenue wouldn't even stagnateâif speed tests are anything to go by, they're nowhere close to saturation and can easily support many more customers.

This image reminded me of something. Yesterday I was in my university, and the room I was in had a multi-layer window that somehow produced more than one image of the Sun, each dimmer than the last. The second fake image was dim enough to be looked at, and I think I saw a dark spot on it. I know that it wasn't some gunk on the window because I moved along with the fake Sun image if I moved my head. There were no spherical lights in that room, if that's what you are thinking.

>Geodesic spheres become stronger (and relative to the volume enclosed, lighter) as they become bigger, because of how they distribute stress over their surfaces. As a sphere gets bigger, the volume it encloses grows much faster than the mass of the enclosing structure itself. Fuller suggested that the mass of a mile-wide geodesic sphere would be negligible compared to the mass of the air trapped within it. He suggested that if the air inside such a sphere were heated even by one degree higher than the ambient temperature of its surroundings, the sphere could become airborne. He calculated that such a balloon could lift a considerable mass, and hence that 'mini-cities' or airborne towns of thousands of people could be built in this way.

In September 2019, the NASA completed the Final Environmental Assessment for the SpaceX Starship and Super Heavy Launch Vehicle at KSC (â2019 EAâ) to evaluate the potential environmental impacts resulting from construction and operations associated with utilization of LC-39A for the SpaceX Starship-Super Heavy launch vehicle in practical applications. LC-39A is a SpaceX-leased launch site located on northern KSC property and currently supports SpaceXâs Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy launches.
Within the context of the 2019 EA, the scope of the Proposed Action was defined as infrastructure development and Starship-Super Heavy operations. Infrastructure development included construction of a launch mount, liquid methane farm, transport road, deluge water system, landing zone, and high-pressure gaseous commodity lines. Operations involved approximately 24 Starship-Super Heavy launches per year. NASAâs resultant Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) issued on September 19, 2019, concluded that the environmental impacts associated with Starship-Super Heavy infrastructure development and operations would not individually or cumulatively have a significant impact on the quality of the biological or physical environment. SpaceX did not submit a vehicle operator license application for the Starship-Super Heavy launch operations at LC-39A subsequent to the completion of the 2019 EA; therefore, the FAA did not have a federal action to adopt NASAâs EA/FONSI.

While the purpose and need for Starship-Super Heavy at LC-39A have not changed since the 2019 EA, the Starship-Super Heavy concept of operations has evolved from the original 2019 EA scope. SpaceX now proposes to construct additional launch infrastructure not previously contemplated in the 2019 EA; launch an advanced design of the Starship and Super Heavy vehicle; operate at a projected higher launch tempo; and land the Super Heavy booster at LC-39A in support of the reusability concept. Starship landings are no longer proposed to occur at Landing Zone 1 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.

SpaceX has 50% more revenue from Starlink than the two biggest GEO satellite operators combined
it is also already making money even after capital expenditures
>Quilty estimates that Starlink will have an EBITDA of $3.8 billion this year. This value indicates how well a company is managing its day-to-day operations and stands for earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. Additionally, Quilty estimates that capital expenditures for Starlink will be $3.1 billion this year. This leaves an estimated free cash flow from the business of about $600 million. In other words, Starlink is making money for SpaceX. It is self-sustaining.

It's obvious we're underprepared now.
None of our networks are properly shielded from salty rain, let alone geomag storms.
People saying otherwise are genuinely in denial there's problems.
If this was G5 we'd might get fucked up. I'm assuming the solar panels on everyone's homes are not being dealt with in our electrical networks correctly.
This shouldn't be that hard to fix and ultimately it could pay for itself by reducing equipment damage in our homes and offices from non geo-mag related surges, etc.
Why are we stuck in the 50s with electrical grid management when we use 21st century equipment and power sources nowadays?
I don't think it would ever completely fuck us up, but it will cost millions to billions in damages like a hurricane would. It's just not as obvious as hurricanes. I'll bet most computer bugs in our networks get them from these storms and have done so since the 50s. Computers are electrical engineering, not magic. Surges do impact their error rates. They also should be properly shielded. We still haven't done that correctly and we've literally known about the issue since the 80s when things like Apple computers (I think it was apple) used to bug because of shielding issues. They half fixed the situation and other pcs followed.. but it's still not enough.

We've already lost stereo sats from storms.
I've literally dealt with legal cases in the billions involving damage from faulting transformers from such storms.
You never hear about this on the news because it's confidential and has economic impact.
Our current electrical engineering is so incompetent that we run models and data on machines that have flawed data maintenance systems. They bug. They perturb their data.
And I imagine part of the reason is the lack of shielded electrical wiring and equipment, because electrical engineers and electrical providers are LAZY.
It's not even cost.
It's sheer laziness.
The garbage I've seen admins of such companies say from the inside astounds me.
And excel spreadsheets are a terrible utility to run such networks. That was the part that astonished me the most. I thought they had tailor made software data implementations for their shit. They often don't. They hack together shit using basic entry level software, often.
It's utterly baffling.
But when you're dealing with engineers that know what a transistor or a diode is, but then don't know how that is applicable to their data, stats and computer systems and the integrity of their data/control systems, you have problems.

Oh and the REAL reason why the issues are never addressed is because of the economic ramifications of people realising that it's a flawed product.
It would harm bank balance sheets.

That really shows just how dumb these people are.
But I can't even get reception in my room nowadays. That's a relatively new thing.
5G won't fry you because it can barely reach you. It's arguably safer than 3G, but not intentionally.

So officially one of the strongest storms up with 2003 and 1989 now.
But on S2?
So it impacted magnetometers but wasn't spewing protons?

North Korea, Iran, and Kazakhstan are all shoe-ins for ILRS, but none of them really contribute much beyond adding a +1 to the membership list. Hungary, Austria, Finland, Denmark, Norway, Estonia, Ireland, and Portugal should all be easy pickups for Artemis via their ESA member status but they're not bringing much on their own either. Taiwan is another easy Artemis member.
The only real big pick left on the board is Indonesia. They're a big country with a big economy and they've got a lot of interest in space. They've got a fleet of about a dozen geostationary telecom satellites and they've tried to entice SpaceX to build a launch complex in their country. They also have strong economic ties with China, but they're smart enough not to slip into the vassal role that China prefers. They could really go either way at this point. Vietnam and the Philippines are in similar situations, but they're not as large or as interested in space.
Iran might not be that far off from joining. They've had an interest in getting one of their citizens into space for decades, and would have sent one up to Mir in the early 90s if the USSR hadn't collapsed. They recently struck a similar deal with China to visit Tiangong, and we might see a big public announcement after China sends up their next set of modules. Announcing that Iran is joining ILRS at the same time as they reveal the first Iranian astronaut would make sense.

Sigh..
The fact that there's a cluster around the coast of bunbury confirms my suspicions about those insulators. Those things are ready to blow without the storm because of salt water affecting them. This same are in fact got bushfires I presume from some of them going off. That was during either a major flare or a storm (one of those) a few months ago. But I see this regularly.
These easily cause millions of dollars of damage btw. So the idea that we're safe from these things is completely off. They are a detriment to the economy big time.
I can only imagine how annoying this storm is in 3rd world nations where things aren't maintained at all.
I just wanted to show how undramatic millions of dollars of damage actually looks. It's not terrifying, but it is expensive.

One day we will get a Carrington event at the START of the solar cycle before years of maintenance work on electrical grids from consistent smaller storms.
Only then will people realise just how dangerous these things truly are.
Grids need maintenance. They degrade. Storms merely set them off normally.
And when they're consistently small, no one notices.
When they're large but AFTER smaller storms for years, no one notices (like now).
But when they're large and at the beginning of a cycle, with no maintenance having been done because of previous storm effects and after years of solar minimum - that's when the catastrophic network damage actually happens.

Then max was predicted June.
I think the timing is right, but the magnitude is somehow completely off.
SC25 should have been weaker than SC24 and it has already been stronger for some time before this storm.
So the fact that this storm happened near the max suggests that it's merely the magnitude that was wrong.

You have more chance of living on Mars than Phoenix Arizona.
It's just a fact.

Can the storm set off smoke alarms? Mine's gone off a couple of times today for no reason.

Without an air-conditioned vehicle I was forced to flee that place after nightfall, when the temperature dipped all the way down to 85*F.
Arizona must be terraformed in order for humans to reasonably live there, scuttling from air conditioned box to air conditioned box in air conditioned vehicles is scarcely different than living on the moon as it is.

I wonder if it could impact the air quality near smoke alarms?
I doubt that.
But it might affect the electricals. I've heard a few alarms already around me go off. Kinda cool.
I don't remember that happening in 2003, which is worrying. 2003 was bigger.

Not anywhere near this scale. There's usually just a blob of yellow and red somewhere. This time it's more a case of what areas aren't affected

Getting a mild headache. Maybe it does affect EM/radio frequencies enough to cause a very mild headache. Gonna assume placebo, but if not - honestly more than I thought would happen with that shit.
Though air inversions cause much much worse issues and it's always the lower EM freqs (not 5G) that cause issues. I don't know why people assume it's the higher freqs that are the problem. The lower freq can penetrate things much much more.
You have to have your head next to a 5G transmitter to cause problems to your health.

I honestly thought solar max was like 3 months ago.
I couldn't have been more wrong and I think this party might just be starting.
NASAs prediction got the timing right, but definitely not the magnitude. It's so off it's ridiculous.

Given the size these things are meant to be I think an opening big enough for a helicopter would be so relatively small it wouldn't affect anything. You could even make it an simple airlock to stop as much heat leaving when you open it to the outside (but again it probably wouldn't really matter that much relatively)
