      I don’t think thats really an option. The sun is the most extreme place in the universe (apart from of course larger versions of the sun, like more massive stars and black holes). Its the place where all the atoms in our bodies where created! So essential, but I wouldn’t be considering moving there any time soon.

      We’re 100 million miles away from our Sun and can still get sunburned in the summer. A safe distance seems like the best choice!
