Welp, in case we needed even more things to worry about, apparently in 3 days we're going to stress-test Starlink's current orbital configuration with a severe geomagnetic storm. After working on simulations of Starlink's orbital configuration, I am honestly quite worried about how this is going to go for them (and by extension, for everything else in Low Earth Orbit). https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/news/g4-severe-geomagnetic-storm-watch-effect-2-june-utc-day

      Probably not gonna have any real impact on most people, but Starlink could go down.
