I tell myself that bitcoin is not going away and it's here to stay, BUT yeah if the entire world loses connectivity with everyone in it (big EMP, disaster from space) then then the p2p wouldnt work.
As a backup. Some satellites will be launched soon I imagine within a decade at most.

Of Course it would. Bitcoin is reliant on Computers and the internet. Without the internet and any way to network computers together, Bitcoin would not be able to function. Anything that is possible to destroy the internet like a solar flare would in the process also take out computers, so Bitcoin would not be able to work.
Keep in mind that if the internet were destroyed, we would have much bigger problems.
