This is exciting, but I can't find many details about resilience and hardening for CMEs.

Carrington [1] class events keep me up at night.

Same here. Expansion is great and all, but if it all goes down due to a massive CME we’re all screwed. I’ve heard estimates of $500M to improve resiliency for solar events. Why isn’t funding going toward that?
