Dig your holes! We're all going to DIE!

I worry about Michael Foale and the two cosmonauts on the ISS. NASA keeps saying "nothing to worry about".

I am as well.

They must be catching several lifetimes worth of X-ray and particle bombardment.

I understand that they spend only 20 minutes working and then go to the Russian module that has the best shielding.

As for this sudden rash of spots, I am somewhat concerned, but I see no major differences in behavior of the sun over the last 80 or so years, except that this occurred suddenly and after a real calm period. The sun usually settles down after a field reversal for a few years.

Looks like it is not done yet, but it should be.
