Ever the eternal optimist, I tend to lean towards the thought (and likelihood) that we knew what was on it, the risk, the purpose, and the next steps well before it even got over mainland and made the news.
The same group of people that will scream all day about government intrusion, surveillance, secret tech, and black projects, now they think we were actually caught off guard by this?
Many want to use this as a point to make Biden look weak (I think he does much of that without your help ) but this is just wrong. The military is opposed to shooting it down. Betting money is it goes down over the Atlantic and we recover.
On a side note, yes, EMPs terrify me. But I'm more concerned about our government not taking solar anomalies serious enough given the devastating impact a Carrington event would have on our civilization these days. And that's every president in my life (and yours). Every. President. Even the demigod one tweeting from a golf course was warned about it and did nothing. We are doomed and it's only a matter of time. We could safeguard our infrastructure for the next 50 years for less money than what we spend on our military in a given year.
