Over the years, many spacecraft designs have been put forward, but they can largely be grouped into two categories: the "dunce cap" and the "parabola"... The definition team will also be adjusting the project outline to fit the current political climate.
hey, what did they mean by that? PARTISAN BIAS!!! ;')

no way go when its cloudy There are no clouds on the sun, silly. It would rain and put the sun out!
To: snopercod
I would design the satelite with car doors. When it gets too close to the sun and it gets hot, they can roll down the windows and let it cool off.

If they want to make it a perfect 1 AU orbit I've got some room in my backyard.
To: aculeus
But at least it's dry heat.

It's not the heat, it's the humidity.

I'd send Michael Moore, but I'm afraid the gravity well around Moore will stretch the Sun too much.

They should try landing on the North pole of the sun because its not quite as hot. The South Pole I heard is even cooler, if I'm not mistaken during the winter it's been known to get a little snow in the mountains.
To: Blue Screen of Death
It's cooler at night, but you may need a flashlight.
