Well, if it hits the space shuttle/station while they are up there,
aren't they going to develop strange super human abilities? :-)

Subject: [MLUG - DISCUSSION] lets talk about solar flares.

donno much about solar flares, but apparently the sun just release a 
big solar flare..."792".  Luckily, the earth doesn't appear to be in its

path, but one might wonder what would happen if a big solar flare is 
emitted and the earth happens to be in its path.

http://www.spaceweather.com/

Sunspot 792 is an X-class flare....x-class flares "are major 
events that can trigger planet-wide radio blackouts and long-lasting 
radiation storms"

discuss.
