Scientists told how a person can approach sun

According to scientists, astronauts can get to the Sun much closer than many people suggest, reports the cursor.

“The current technology of the spaces was not designed for a distant space. Heat from the Sun dissipates with a distance, but an astronaut, drifting in space, will begin to face it about 4,800,000 kilometers from the sun. Then the death of astronaut is only a matter of time,” – said Engineer Ralph McNatt.

At temperatures above 120 ° C, the spacecraft can turn into a hot sauna. This leads to dehydration and subsequent death of astronaut. But the heat shield of the spacecraft is designed for temperatures up to 2593 ° C. If we assume that such protection covers the entire spacecraft, astronauts will be able to fly at a distance of 2 million kilometers from the Sun.
