Titan Aerospace's Solar-Powered "Satellite"

           Titan Aerospace is currently developing a high-altitude solar-powered (unmanned) plane, in which it is the world's first atmospheric "satellite" with limited applications. As Spectrum has written: "The Solara is intended to loft a payload to 20,000 meters (60,000 feet) and then keep it there for five years, running entirely on solar power. It functions a bit like a satellite except substantially cheaper and much more versatile. And, you can get it back when you're done."

            The Titan Solara 50 solar plane has a wingspan of approximately 150 feet. It has the ability to carry a payload of around 250 pounds to "atmospheric orbit" and then stay operational up there, thanks to the 3,000 solar panel cells that can produce 7 kilowatts of electricity).

Solar storm can throw us back 100 years

     Michio Kaku, whom is an American theorist physicist, author and host of his show on the Syfy Channel, is featured in an interview with Fox News. He claims that there is to be a predicted solar storm hitting earth in this year. He claims that every 11 years, North and South Pole flip to release a burst of radiation and every 100 years or so, a monster tsunami from the sun emerges, which can cause trillions of dollars in property damage.
     In 1859, there was a gigantic solar storm that knocked out telegraph wires in the United States and Europe, causing widespread fires. If this storm was to happen, it would knock out satellites, power stations, and cause food riots because refrigerators would not function because there would be no power source.

Let's take a look at what Professor Michio Kaku says about this storm.

Even NASA has given a warning of the coming solar storm in 2013. Encaptured footage of a giant sun eruption in 2012 but predicts a larger coming storm this year.
