ad-hoc?

When it comes to solar storms, yes. These happen frequently enough
(and naturally enough) to be considered to be a constant source of
concern for anyone interested in satellites. You throw antidotes at
this cosmic disease often enough and you may find the cure for one
problem makes the ailment worse. Obviously, if you can protect vital
equipment from a nuclear war, by all means do it. To constantly
disrupt a natural protection from a potential hazard, even to protect
pieces of machinery, should require a bit more thinking through.



My question, perhaps a stupid one, but one that begs the asking
nonetheless would be:

If there is so much disruption to satellites from nuclear bombs, is there
going to be anyone around to use them (or care whether they are there or
not)?


That is a very pretty point that you've raised. Want the answer ??? It
doesn't matter what the practical reality is. The ones with all the
resources here that are calling the shots are "LORD HIGH". According to
their acquired self delusions, they'll just walk between the radiation
particles while the rest of us plebeians drop dead slowly.
