The sun is a ball of hotter than white hot gas.
1) There is no surface to land on
2) There is no known material which would not be converted to gas in an instant if it approached the sun
3) The gravitational pull is so great that, even if you were not burnt to a little pile of ash, you would be squashed flat as a pancake

No way we could land anything on the sun:
1. Its way too hot for anything we can build to survive
2. There is no surface to land on, the sun is gaseous (actually its called plasma because the gases are ionized)
The sun will become a red giant in about 3-5 billion years, and it will take another few million years to shrink to a white dwarf.
So we have lots of time (assuming we even want to land on the sun, which I don't think is in any NASA plans).
But there are plans to launch 2 probes (one from ESA and one from NASA) in 2015 that will get closer to the sun than any other missions.

no. Nothing no matter how advanced in technology will be able to get near the sun for more then a few seconds. Of course machines can make you very cold but what is going to protect the machines from burning up?

NO! Absolutely not! In fact I think its safe to say no human will ever land on the sun's "surface" ever. Never never ever! It's just too hot for humans (and most everything else) there.

You'll need one hell of a space suit! The suns surface is thousands of degrees! Besides, the radiation would kill you before you get there...

No Hope, the sun will melt anything that comes withing 100,000 miles of it.

No.. there is no substance known on earth that could resist to such heat. When u die, you can go.
