The idea of going TO the sun is a wrong question. The sun begins at it's outer edge with so few particles per cubic metre that we could say that the Earth is IN the Sun, if you wish to draw a distinct line that contains what we call the "Sun" then it is probably a line around where our eyes can discern no more transparency in the suns texture.
I highly doubt that the americans are planning to go to what the average Joe might think of as the "sun" but yes, I hope they send satellites much closer than present to truly discover what that massive nuclear reaction produces.

Oh it's a joke, good. I was starting to think the Brits had gone the way of the US in education.
Just in case: satallites have been sent near the sun, you really can't land on it (it's not to hard to study from afar anyway though). And I'm sure you remember that the during the night the side of Earth that you're on is just not facing the sun... the sun is still out and "burning", you just cannot see it.

I find it funny someone from the UK, a great country in many respects, has anything to say about space exploration...
Exactly what has the UK done in the last, oh, EVER, in space exploration?
Now, I'm not knocking the British. They have a lot going for them, especially a much better foreign policy and great arts and literature. But, i've seen you on here knocking Americans a little too much. Unless you've lived here, and you know us and our culture, don't knock it.
Please don't judge us based upon our government. Bush has a 29 percent approval rating, why do you think that is?

ABSOLUTELY! you see we are not tanning as fast here on Earth so NASA is creating a new program to take several Americans at a time to the sun for the small fee of 10 million dollars.

Too funny. Yup. Look at me wet myself.
By the way, "I herd [sic] the Americans want to go to the sun" and "is this true" are two independent clauses. As in, they cannot be connected by a comma and a comma alone. You either need a coordinating conjuction or a semicolon, or make them two separate sentences.
So if you are going to tease someone for being stupid, try to look smarter yourself, eh?

I first heard that joke when I was at primary school, but it was another nationality involved, which owing to England being PC nowadays I shall not mention.

The correct answer is, "pull the other one, mate, it's got bells on!"
This was an old joke started by a group called the Capitol Steps, at the time when Dan Quayle was VP and it was an "in" joke to make fun of his ignorance.

Let them go!!!!
It will be fun, it will be like when Kennedy got shot, or when they first landed on the moon
Everyone will ask 'Where were you when the dumb-*** American's got turned into Charcoal??'
If they think they will get there and get back then they are more delusional than George Bush has common sense!!!!
