The Suns 11-year cycle is hitting the ionosphere hard right now.

Great for Ham Radio bounce contacts, but a lot of space equipment won't do well. =3

People are still unsure why the sun hasn't accidentally cooked us thus far:

Looks like they restored service.

The solar flares in the 11-year cycle are at their peak activity.

There will be random outages for any space based equipment for awhile. =3

Which is why they don't use it for that. Too susceptible to jamming and Elon's politics on a given day. All their drones will be fly by (fiber optic) wire now.

Everything I heard about Starlink indicates that it's very fickle and unreliable.
