I've not heard anything about a mars landing. For one thing I don't think NASA have any long range rockets ready to carry a man that far (they can't even get back to the moon) and we'd of seen the launch on TV months ago.
Are you sure it wasn't a Film!

I have to admit I don't really keep up on the news, but I don't understand how I missed landing a man on mars, guess I'll have to Google it. Perhaps I'll look up the boiling point of titanium while I'm at it, though I'm pretty sure it's less than the temperature of the sun.

There have been no humans on Mars that we know of. Only remotely-operated robot surveyors.
We can send an unmanned object into the sun, but we won't learn very much -- it would vaporize long before it reached anything that we can't examine better from Earth orbit with instruments.
BTW -- "NASA have finally pulled their finger out"? WTF?

A long time, the Sun is not solid for a long way down. How will you stop anything from melting when it gets closer than the outer corona? And please don't say "We'll go at night".

Never. It's impossible. I sure as hell wouldn't like to go to Mars either...
