I'm glad you asked. Coronal mass ejections are very rare events and there has never been one in a billion years when there were billions of people alive all dependent on a global integrated system dependent on uninterrupted cyberspace and other electronic communications and hardware. But every hundred years or so there's a biggie. There has never been one during the Cyberspace era. The situation is like waiting for a Pacific Ocean asteroid impact or a nuclear war or a humanized influenza virus or a straightforward political Civil War as has always happened and is looming now in Hong Kong, Iraq Hither and yon. Japan experienced a pretty decent tsunami but that was very local to Japan. A few months ago I was in London when they had a very large power failure for hours. The supermarket had a crowd of people outside wanting food. If a coronal mass ejection stopped cyberspace working and satellites working and cars working and a lot more besides working then very quickly there would be mega trouble everywhere. If Globalstars satellites go out then a lot more will go out too. Another very rare event is a caldera eruption such as Taupo and Yellowstone. Taupo would destroy the centre of New Zealand and Auckland would be without electricity for years. There is a lot of fun to be had when very rare events disrupt the human flow when it's at Reynolds number for human flow. Reynolds number applies to fluid mechanics when a flow tips over from laminar flow to turbulent flow. A similar thing happens with humans. The human realm goes lamina faster and faster for some period of time. Then some event interrupts slightly and bingo turbulent flow. I have no idea what stops working with what size coronal mass ejections but by all accounts it's one of the big threats to life on earth for humans who are not living a rural subsistence lifestyle. Globalstar shareholders will not like a coronal mass ejection but it wouldn't do any more damage than faulty management pricing of megabytes , love of arpu and how to run Globalstar railroad. Mqurice
