1. Will this CME affect the Artemis mission? (n/t)

2. Space gear is usually radiation-hardened.

This is just electromagnetic waves of some low frequency, so even people should be safe.

With lots of tinfoil.

Hope for the best. I'll post if I find out anything appropriate.

I reserve the right to retract any of this if it''s inaccurate.

the degree depending mainly on how well the capsule attenuates (shields) the level. I expect they may orient the capsule so that the bulk of it is between the living compartment and the sun.
