So, which is it?

"Musk's Starlink satellites disrupted by major solar storm" cnbc.com/amp/2024/05/11/musks-

or

"SpaceX Starlink satellites doing just fine after weekend solar storm, company says" space.com/spacex-starlink-sola ?

It can't be both. 🤷🏼‍♂️

@JohnBarentine sure it can be both.

One possibility is that there was disruption that lowered performance by a few percent. Disrupted, but not terribly so.

Another possibility is that there was significant disruption over the weekend, but after that passed, now they’re fine.

@volkris It would be great if someone, either among the media or at the company, would clear that up.
