If the solar flares wipe out the Na’vi so we can exploit resources, I’m all for it.

The first episode had them in a space tank shooting a laser at a one eyed space gorilla.
We thought it was going to be the best tv show ever!
Then.....talking carrots.
Talking vegetables....it was like the Democrat Convention.
The Wild, Wild West.....Star Trek.....Rat Patrol....
Now there were some tv shows.
If they made Lost In Space today, we’d have to watch Dr Smith making out with the robot.
If they had taught astronomy with illustrations like that in the 1950s, I would have had a much deeper understanding of the universe around me at a much younger age.
Even when Star Wars came out in the 1970s, I was still fundamentally baffled about what the universe looked like and where planet Earth was relative to the galaxy far, far away.
I actually visited the great Planetarium in Chicago several times in my youth, but it took decades for me to intellectually understand that the universe was expanding and almost everything in it is moving away from Earth.
Thank God they never made us watch.

There are white dwarfs, red dwarfs, and brown dwarfs. Why no black dwarfs? Is the universe racist?
If the star systems have one large star and one or more of these small red dwarfs then the planets in those systems will be regularly blasted with radiation.
I know there are numerous SF books and movies that take place in binary star systems, but those now appear to be entirely unscientific and pure fantasy.
Proxima Centauri has been known to be a flare star for a long time. It’s a red dwarf— most of them are flare stars. This is news?
