I think Starlink is in a low enough orbit that the Earth's magnetic field
will protect them from the CME charged particles that fry geostationary
satellites. I suppose a bad solar flare might actually help Starlink if it
takes out the competition. Better keep a close eye on any Starships flying

Let's just say for arguments sake that Starlink gets a functional
constellation in place with, oh, 2,000 satellites in orbit. Everything
goes just swell, and they grow the constellation to 4,000 satellites by
