More fuel for the Fermi paradox. Our sun is a fairly calm well behaved star. Many stars, even if they allow life, might make anything using electricity very problematic.
Of course ours will eventually if we don’t prepare. Seems like this type of event would also doom any space settlements if it hit one.
Makes me wonder if going to the outer solar system further from the sun would be better than Mars.
The outer solar system is a pretty inhospitable place due to cold, darkness and cosmic rays. You'd need a lot of nuclear power plants to survive there, and it must be the most depressing existence living below ground.
