3 or 3million scientists? Somewhere in between? Just stating percentages is rather opaque to the scale of the problem.

Maybe so, but the immediate effects would be on the magnetosphere and these guys (NOAA) don't appear to be noticing any differences in the Auroral displays from their sensors: https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/comm...

I'm with you. Orbiter's the best free program out there. AGI.com's STK software suite is the only commercial orbital navigation planning software I know of. A lot of defence contractors use it, as well as DoD, NASA and the AirForce. It's also used for Geospatial Intelligence and Space Battle Management.
