I heard about that too, but I heard it was the Al Qaeda space agency... They were going to try to blow it up while it was sleeping.

Umm, that's the lamest thing I have ever heard. The sun doesn't shut off at night. It is always burning. No, Nasa is not planning a manned trip to the sun. It was take year to get there, and if by some miracle, they were able to make it near the sun, they'd burn up from the heat and the gravitational force would pull them into a firey death.
They are, however, planning a manned trip to Mars. Go to Nasa.com and read up.

no, we have sent several manned missions to the sun, but the astronauts all came back with serious sun burns, and we aren't going to send anymore because of the risk of skin cancer in our astronauts.
However, there is an American flag and a declaration of claim sitting on the top of the sun, waving everytime the solar breeze picks it up. Now USA owns the sun and the moon.
Just kidding, you can tell this to your friend. He was pulling your chains, nobody can land on the sun. There isnt even an unmanned mission to the sun planned.

Its impossible to send a man on the sun, the sun is three billion degrees fareinheit has dangerouse radiation levels, and is at temperature that would sublime all solids to its gas phase. There is no way to develop a space suit that can survive that heat. Also night is only the result of earth facing away from the suns radiation not the sun stopping. The sun has always been burning unabativly for 14 billion years and still burns while its night. Seriously go back to elementry school!

impossible.
Assuming that initially in an orbit around the sun it can continue to change its orbit and get closer to the sun until the density of the sun's atmosphere slows it down so much that it will fall into the sun like satellites and meteors burning out in the earth's atmosphere.
People have this same problem with black holes. You could be in orbit around a black hole for ever as long as you weren't near enough for relativity to be a consideration.
lyner.
This is true under newtonian mechanics, however unforutunately for simplicity, it doesn't quite work when you enter the realm of general relativity. If spacetime is very curved, like very close to a black hole, then orbits cease to be stable

maybe in about 3-4 billion years, when we go to where the sun used to be, but you and i and everyone and everything else will be dead by then, maybe if you freeze your brain cryogenically.... oh wait, anyone that asks that question has already done away with their brain

no--it a bit warm in that part of the solar system--and beside that--they cant even get to the Moon--or Mar's yet---http://www.baeinstitute.com/pr1.html

no. that would be cool though. they'd burn up way long before they'd get anywhere near the sun
