The farthest away from Earth that any astronaut has ever been is about one-quarter

of one percent of the distance to the sun. No astronaut has ever even tried to go to

the sun, and neither has any unmanned space probe. That's one of the most difficult

missions for a space launch. Anything that starts out from Earth has so much kinetic

energy being in Earth's orbit around the sun, that it would take a huge amount of fuel

to reduce its velocity enough to fall anywhere close to the sun.

And then there's that small matter of burning up . . .
