Near an event horizon wouldn't be much of a problem, as long as you're moving quickly enough and on a path that would take you across it as opposed to into it. You would simply slingshot around. (Of course, it depends on how near is near). Within the event horizon - now you're in trouble.

If the black hole is a Scharzschild Black hole, yes. However, we must note there are multiple event horizons for complex (IE real) blackholes. And being close to the static limit already means you're bathed in the plasma caught near said event horizon.

Also, we have not considered the impact of a Kerr black hole on a nearby planetary body.

Despite conventional wisdom, black holes do generate a magnetic field...

I can't find numerics on field strength, but that would also fuck with any form of life given a sufficiently strong magnetic field. And then we keep forgetting all the charged particles, flying around the black hole. I'm certain a new planet would love to have it's atmosphere eroded away!

Just another G-C can't fucking do anything right, even as simple as Google search, scenario.

Stupid child thinks "black hole" means "Applied Phlebotinum"
