"It depends where in space. If outside the ionosphere, no issue. If below (i.e., low Earth orbit), then trouble. We had some serious zapping during the Pacific tests (with much harder systems than today) - or we wouldn’t even know EMPs existed. As to the sun doing the zapping - I agree, little data there."

I don't live my life in fear of what may happen. That was my point.

No it wasn’t. Your point was that you thought all of this was a hoax. EMPs are not - the sun, who knows.

As to living in fear. I’ve told my kids to throw in the towel and check out if we get a serious EMP hit - I don’t live in fear of it or even try to prepare for it - I just acknowledge that some of this is real.
