Oga relax. China is almost completing it's own sun. They switched it on for about 7 minutes last year.

kestolove95:
Mi I want to enter d sun next year

BondRiv:
Deception.

What is man looking for in the name of science in a place that is inhabitable? Perhaps to tap into its massive endless energy--- that's good for us, but let humans know when we have reached our boundaries and not to cross the red lines.

I wish NASA best of luck in their quest for human technological advancement that will bring good things to humanity and make the world a better place.

Why waste time, resources and energy to go during the day when the sun is very hot, WHEN THEY CAN JUST GO AT NIGHT, when the sun has calmed down

Sense no go kill us o

That waste of time and resources space technology gave the ignorant black man

Space technology has led to many innovations that have changed the world, including:
Consumer products
Many products we use today, such as cordless vacuums, LED lighting, and memory foam, have their origins in space technology research.
Laptop computers
The Shuttle Portable Onboard Computer (SPOC), developed in the 1980s for the space shuttle program, is a direct ancestor of modern laptop computers.
Scratch-resistant lenses
NASA developed a process to create scratch-resistant lenses for astronauts' helmet visors, which was later adopted by the optical industry to make eyeglasses more scratch-resistant.
Ear thermometers
NASA's use of infrared technology to measure the temperature of stars led to the invention of an infrared sensor for aural thermometers.
Cochlear implants
A NASA engineer developed digital implantable hearing aids based on his work on the Space Shuttle program.
Space telescopes
Space telescopes have helped us determine the age of the universe, discover planets, and more.
Satellite technology
Miniaturized satellites, called CubeSats, make it more economical to gather data and conduct scientific research.
Commercial spaceflight
Companies like SpaceX and Blue Origin have made space more accessible and affordable.
Asteroid mining
Asteroid mining and lunar regolith utilization could revolutionize the energy industry.

And it wasn't melted by the extreme temperatures of the sun? Wonderful!

Oyibo people don chop belleful…let’s even say it was possible to reach the sun do you think you will survive there? Nawa oo

Omoawoke:
Wetin concern religious Nigerians with space
Mr Tunde, even after living in Canada for how many years, you still did not seize to ask a question like a typical backward indoctrinated Nigerian.
Make we share money dey go Mecca and Jerusalem and bow down to white man and lick Arab assholes.
Then build the biggest churches in Nigeria.
While the rest of the world explore the universe and continue to advance.
You run quickly go the advance country and your mind is to populate your descendants there and they change their names to Peter, Michael and Jessica and speak through their nostrils forming accents and say my parents are from Africa, I yam a Canadian.
Dress and take pictures with snow and feel good about your japa and lost identity and heritage

What really is the end game of all these waka waka?

livebullet:
Just imagine if this level of ignorance is allowed to comment on religion. He will bring same deficiency to play.
Who says the sun is a solid object where once can land or stay?

Well, maybe you have your own wealth of contrary knowledge.

GindoX:
You want to do what?

Elizkid:
It has no solid surface


So there’s nowhere to land on it.

RedScorpion:
Tinubu wahala strong pass the heat of the Sun

You are already in the Sun ☀️☀️☀️☀️

At least we need to know what is there that's heating us like this

the sun is hot on earth because of reflection from the ground. surprisingly its colder in clouds than on ground surface.

Why NASA’s Sun-Touching Spacecraft Remains Out Of Contact


NASA’s Parker Solar Probe remains out of contact on Christmas Day after its historic achievement on Dec. 24 when it got closer to the sun than any human-made object.

The mission to “touch the sun” reached a mere 3.86 million miles (6.1 million kilometers) from the surface of the sun, the closest NASA has got to any star. It’s currently inside and helping scientists understand the sun’s mysteriously hot outer atmosphere, its corona.

However, the close pass took place on the other side of the sun, as seen from Earth’s perspective. Mission operators at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory in Laurel, Maryland — where the spacecraft was also designed and built — have been out of contact with Parker ever since.

Waiting For A ‘Beacon Tone’
It’s due to send a beacon tone on Dec. 27, 2024, to confirm that the probe has survived one of the most extreme environments in the solar system. It’s hoped that its robust heat shield will protect its instruments.

“No human-made object has ever passed this close to a star, so Parker will truly be returning data from uncharted territory,” said Nick Pinkine, Parker Solar Probe mission operations manager at APL. “We’re excited to hear back from the spacecraft when it swings back around the sun.”

Autonomous Design
The three days out of contact with Earth was expected and planned in the design of the spacecraft. “When it is flying near the sun, it has to be 100% autonomous,” said Dr. Nour Raouafi, the project’s scientist at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory, during a media roundtable at the American Geophysical Union’s annual meeting on Dec. 10, 2024. “We cannot do anything to it if it encounters any problem — it has to deal with it on its own.”

The autonomous system built into the spacecraft can continuously work for nearly two months without human intervention.

Next Status Update
“This is one example of NASA’s bold missions, doing something that no one else has ever done before to answer longstanding questions about our universe,” said Arik Posner, Parker Solar Probe program scientist at NASA Headquarters in Washington. “We can’t wait to receive that first status update from the spacecraft and start receiving the science data in the coming weeks.”

Parker is traveling at 430,000 mph (690,000 kph), making it the fastest-ever human-made object, fast enough to get from Philadelphia to Washington, D.C. in one second, according to the mission’s website.

Parker’s close pass is the first of three to get within 4% of the Earth-sun distance. The second two will take place on Mar. 22 and Jun. 19, 2025.
