Best Answer

-- It's a bit too hot.

-- It has no surface.

-- Every pound of material launched from Earth weighs about 2,800 pounds

in the sun's close-in neighborhood.

-- The temperature there is above the boiling point of every chemical element and compound.

Nothing you could launch from Earth, whether man or machine, could arrive there in a

recognizable form.

-- Radio communication with anything near the sun is impossible, because the sun

itself is a loud source of radio noise.

-- In terms of fuel and energy required, that would be the most difficult target

in the solar system. It took seven years and several planetary fly-bys and gravity

assists to coax a space-probe as deep into the inner solar system as Mercury.
