  • @AustralianPhenomena Like chicken xD

  • Hell ya, we need to probe everything out there.

  • they should study the earth, and find a way to protect it,instead of melting probes in the sun

  • They just dont know what to waste money on... why not just give it to the poors.

    and 1 million for me please! :D

  • @Sh33un the sun warms it and a vacuum is a very good insulator so the heat will build up quickly.

  • haha, they actually called it "Solar Probe Plus"?! haha.

  • No sweat, if you cannot make it, fake it ;)

  • @AustralianPhenomena

    There's Plain, Mild, Medium, Hot, Habanero, Fireball, Nuclear, Death, Armageddon, and Lemon Pepper. I'm guessing Lemon Pepper. 

  • @snoopyloopy XD I went to the sun the other day, but it was night time so I didn't see anything. AH!AH!AH! That's hilarious! XD

  • "what happens on the sun on a normal day..."

    how do you define day on the sun? and very related, is there ever night on the sun?
