Well then.... Goes to show you we have more to worry about in regards to solar events, like the Carrington event.... Declassified Military Report Reveals Extreme Solar Storm Likely Detonated Mines During Vietnam War Quote: Nearing the end of the Vietnam War, the US military deployed more than 2,000 destructor mines (DST) in an effort to “interdict trains, trucks, and other land vehicles.” However, a US Task Force flying near the naval minefield on August 4, 1972, observed dozens of random unexplained explosions over the course of just 30 seconds, at the time prompting a military investigation. Now, a declassified US Navy report reveals that extraterrestrial forces likely sparked the mysterious phenomenon. |

Does it surprise anyone that I used to subscribe to Popular Science and Popular Mechanics? lolol |

She does talk about how she makes fun of science, so that was my laughing.... I like Popular Sci & Popular Mech, but both always leave me wishing I had better tools

I appreciate the additional source, but in the end, it appears to be a money grab for research money.... All the links ending with, more study needs to be done... There was a huge solar flare in 2017, and the biggest thing that might happen to satellites, which are closer, was throughing GPS off by a couple of feet. With all the investment in cloud storage and communications via satellite, by governments and corporations, it seems that insurers wouldn't insure these things if there was such a risk. And if the risk to a satellite is so low, it's hard for me believe a solar flare affects underwater mines. I would lean more to, "let's test this underwater detonation tactic we've developed, in case another country learns how to make these underwater mines...." I could be wrong, though

They say that during that, telegraph operators could send messages without even a power source hooked up to their machines there are other stories of a telegraph boards igniting from power surges. |

Money grab for research? That's how science works. |
