1. For the first time in human history, we are going to “touch the sun”.
2. The probe’s mission will take it within 4 million miles of the sun....
Well, which is it, touch the Sun or not?
Either way, glad I’m not going.

Getting that close to what is, essentially, a giant ball of fire requires some significant enhancements.
Huh, I wonder if they realize that climate change is out of mankind’s control, that is is, essentially, controlled by a giant ball of fire.

With this cutting edge heat shield we no longer have to worry about global warming.

I worked for a NASA contractor during the Apollo program. I, at a young age, was amazed and apalled by the ignorance of the government employees in charge.

My late uncle worked for MITRE Corp in those days. He said NASA had some smart guys but nobody wanted to share info so they messed up some things! Big egos!

Getting that close to what is, essentially, a giant ball of super heated plasma - there is no ‘fire’ on the sun. Saying there is fire on the sun is like saying that the Antarctic is covered with water.

meaning it will last a whole half second before being incinerated.
even so they might learn that the sun is mighty hot.
will be interesting to see how they transmit anything through the solar interference
