I hope they go during daytime when it much brighter and easier to find.

The more important thing is that they go during winter, when it's cooler.

A spacecraft orbiting the Sun? What an idea. A spacecraft parked on the launching pad at Cape Canaveral is orbiting the Sun.
Hell, I've orbited the Sun myself, a few dozen times. Ain't much to it.

I hope someone can make a nice referigeration laser or this thing is going to cook.

GEEZ ... you people are sooooooo dumb to think that going to the sun at night will make a differance ... every body knows that in order to land on the sun you have to do it during a full eclipse

They should have a lander like the Mars rovers. That would be really interesting if it landed and was crawling around the surface and suddenly got blown 50 million miles into space by a coronal plume.

IMHO, they should target large bodies of water!

That'll never work either. They should try landing on the North pole of the sun because its not quite as hot.

hope they go during daytime when it much brighter and easier to find. But the big problem is the heat. If they go at night they will have less heat problems.

Duh, you slather the satellite with Coppertone and it's good to go.
Aerospace engineers are SO overpaid.
