we just learnt about niel armstrong in class n how he walkd on the moon. that was like 50 yrs ago. when do u think a person will be able to walk on the sun? its not that much farther right?

LOLOLOL The temperature of the Sun's surface is a few million degrees centigrade. I guess you could try going at night.

OK. Never, or not for an extremely, extremely, extremely long time. Definately not within the next few hundred life spans.
First of all, the sun doesn't have a solid surface, so there would be nothing to walk on.
Second of all, and more importantly, the temperature that close to the sun is so increadably high that it would melt any material known to man.
Thirdly, the amount of shielding required to prevent instant death due to gamma radiation would need to be so thick, that a person could not move.
We'll be on Mars soon enough, just have fun with that.

Well:
Anybody would be crushed by the gravity that the sun has just getting close.
The surface is a gases under the process of nuclear fusion, not a solid.
You can't make a resistant suit because even tungsten which is the most heat resistant element melts before 5000 degrees Celsius.
The radiation would kill you.
Solar flares could flare and burn you alive.
Some of these problems are unsolvable. So, it would practically be impossible to walk on the sun.

It's certainly possible to send humans on the first mission to accomplish a solar landing within the next decade, if we could only, as a nation, bring the same kind of commitment as we had with the Apollo program. The proposed Icarus program would get around the problem of the massive heat and radiation of the sun by landing at night.
Okay, it's an old joke, but I couldn't resist.

Ummmm like never. By the way, it was 37, not 50 years ago when Neil Armstrong walked on the moon.

the Moon landing was not 50 years ago, it was just over 37 years ago, and the Sun has no solid surface to walk on, and , hypothetically, even if one did, he or she would not disintegrate-he or she would vaporize instantly, in essence, turn into loose gaseous clouds. and throw this one out in your class...not only did Neil Armstrong walk on the moon, Buzz Aldrin chalked up the longest golf drive by hitting a ball on the moon.

It is a lot further.And man will never walk on the sun, if he tried his legs would get burnt off! lol Do you have any idea of the temperature of the sun? Anything approaching it would be incinerated. Not that that would matter to the astronauts, they would have died from the radiation long before.

Never because even after the Sun "dies". The gravity would be so great a human would be crushed. So, the answer would be never. But, if by the time the sun dies we have an anti-gravity suit, then maybe.

Well, I'll assume you're actually serious about this, though I find that hard to believe. Considering the massive amounts of radiation, heat, and gravity on the surface of the sun, I would say, never.

If astronots were to try to travel 94 millions miles(distance earth to sun) at the speed of 25000 km/hour it would be along travel time. Most likely they would starve to death before they reach that distance. Now if the astonots were superhuman than it would be a different scenario.
