Space Storms

It is possible that in the near future that so called space storms i.e. solar eruptions can destroy our critical computer and industrial systems in the coming years. You might be thinking, "There is no way that is a possible?" Well according to the US government and the National Science and Technology Council they said it is possible they have released their National Space Weather Action Plan in their report. This plan is a worse case scenario that in any event that a solar eruption in space that can disrupt electric power systems, satellites, phone networks, space launches, navigation systems, and the space station itself. That means we have a problem as you know that everything runs on computer and internet connection and if that is disrupted due to the space weather above us then everything will come to a standstill.

For example, crucial GPS on both military and civilian airlines will be disrupted by causing GPS errors, power lines will be overloaded with extra electricity, and etc. I know this is worse case scenario, but we as a people have to be aware of this things it can happen one day in the near and coming future it is food for thought. Also another thing as well if solar eruptions or space storms has the potential to destroy our aging power grid systems and this is why we need to modernize our control grid to withstand solar flares from space storms I hope that policymakers, business executives, scientists government directors from different government agencies, and military leaders to this type of threat seriously in the future.  Here is the NSTC's Action Plan and the article and tune in next time on cyber brotha peace.
