My answer would have to be no. Simply because the Sun is basically a massive ball of gas which has been superheated to the fourth state of matter, which is plasma. The "surface" of the sun is only called such because that is as far as our visual instruments can see before gasses get thick enough to block out the inner layers of the Sun. In addition to this, the atmosphere of the sun is extremely hot, the "Surface" is normally at around 5500-6000 degree Kelvin, which is survivable if we used alloys that will dissipate the heat. However, the Sun's corona is as hot as the core of the Sun where nuclear fusion occurs, which is 15,000,000 degrees Kelvin. We have no products which can survive that tremendous amount of heat. Not to mention the amount of X-Ray and Gamma-Ray radiation given off by the Sun would kill you when you moved within a few million miles of the Sun. Gamma-Rays will kill you very quickly, X-Rays are survivable when subjected to them with in short amounts of time, but the speed and lead it would require to block the radiation would make the likelihood of even getting close to the Sun extremely remote.

Boy, Louis Armstrong got around. One of the greatest Jazz trumpet players ever. I hand't realized that he played for NASA!
I don't know that we even *could* land on the sun. It's far too hot and it's a ball of gas. But hey, if Louis could play "What a wonderful world" on the moon, perhaps *he* could play it on the sun as well!
I fear what they aren't teaching in school.
Edit: Just looked at the askers other questions. I get it. A troll. How mature.

Neil Armstrong was the first man to set foot on the lunar surface, not LOUIS Armstrong : - )
You can't land ON the sun because it has no true surface. Anyway, the radiation and temperatures of the sun pretty much rule out any possibility of even getting very close to it.

Louis Armstrong turned right into a musician, Neil Armstrong landed on the moon. With modern-day technologies or perhaps technologies it really is interior the close to destiny we haven't any thanks to get that on the point of the daylight. lots of the obsticals that they'd ought to over come is: quite a few kinds of extreamly deadly radiation. The sunlight has no good floor. The gravity of the daylight itself, because in case you stopped transferring or weren't transferring quickly sufficient and also you've been that on the point of the thrilling you'd be sucked proper in. the brilliant warmth of the daylight. The sunlight is warm sufficient to soften any conventional merchandise conventional to guy.

I will nominate you to be the first solar astronaut.
Seriously though: The sun is only about 10,000C at the surface so it is not totally impossible from that aspect. However, the radation and gravity would kill you before you could ever land.
Even if you made it landing would be tough since the surface is not a solid or even a liquid, but rather plasma.
But, I'd like to ask why you would want to go there in the first place?

the sun has no surface to land on.
by the way, louis armstrong is one of the best trumpet players out there. completely amazing.

I was really amazed to see ol' Louis playing his trumpet on the moon. How was he able to get the mouthpiece through his helmet?

Perhaps. When we can find materials that can withstand the utltra heat of the sun.
However, that will be thousands of years away, cause even Captian Kurt never pulled that one on any of his journeys to the unknown.

I remember Louis' famous words: "That's one blue note for a cat, one giant riff for mankind. Skood-e-ly op doo bah dah!"
The Sun, man. Ain't nobody's THAT cool. All I can suggest is that they go at night.

ROTFLMSFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*Louis* Armstrong?????????????
Hands down the best question I've ever seen.
Oh, BTW, we probably won't ever land on the Sun. There's just not that much iced tea in the Universe.
