@drkstrong I don't want to sould like a disaster maniac, but I am sure someone with the knowlege you have, can answer me... Is there a chance at the solar maximum or anytime in the future, a massive solar flare could damage earths MF ( like Mars)? Thnx in advance, and welldone for your nice work.

[Skyywatcher88]

There was a eruption on the far eastern limb, but the mirror event seems to be from 1360...a C1.4 event looking like some what of a coronal mass ejection. Love to hear you talk...get more out of your videos that way...Thanks for the extra time and info you put into this video...well worth the wait...looking forward to your next post...well done...Peace!

@drkstrong Oh dear. I know what you mean. I have come across it many times. Showing people that they did not even get what they were billed for. Listening to some useless tech who spouts computer garbage because he couldn't sell enough used cars. I really question the companies who hire these people and why. Really hurts the 'good' people in the industry when customers eventually realize they are being ripped off by some smiling, lying through teeth, smooth talking yob.

[drkstrong]

@BLynchCAN Yes, we came to that conclusion after the company had signed a 5-year contract. The money they saved on going with the lowest bidder was lost in the first few months with low productivity. It got so bad that one of the summer students we hired brought in his spare home computer to do her work on - more reliable!

[BLynchCAN]

@drkstrong Sorry, my bad. I guess he supplied you with 'off the shelf' instead of custom builds.

I guess he was one of those, "not really a computer guy".

[x1joao]

very good and easy to follow. Thnx a lot.

[drkstrong]

@BrodyLuv2 Actually Hubble is no higher than most LEO satellites (550 km), LEO orbits range from about 150 km to 1500 km but anything lower thnan 200 km will not last very long (atmospheric drag)

[drkstrong]

@m1aws too true

[Rusbalt75]

thanks a lot

[BrodyLuv2]

@BrodyLuv2

Sorry..just noticed you already mentioned this in an earlier Comment on this Video.

I bee's a Gurt Plonker.

[BrodyLuv2]

@drkstrong

Not to forget those in Inner Space like the ISS and nearly all Space Missions.

The last time we went into Outer Space was to repair Hubble I think..and as far as Im' aware that was the First Time since the Apollo Missions ended..is that correct?

[BrodyLuv2]

@drkstrong

We wernt' Digital then..and our Houses wernt' loaded with Electronics sensitive to Power Over-loads.

Im' not being a Doomer here..Im' just stating the facts of the Matter.

I think(pretty darn sure) that our Brilliant Magnetosphere is just that,Brilliant ,and will be able to take massive bombardment..but never,ever say never..Dr's. should know that by now!
