if trump was watching this on CNN, he would say "why didn't they interview an AMERICAN "

[tb]

We should tell Donald Trump the Space Force has been created, and we want him to go into space and inspect the Space Forces.

[COOT]

[RetrogradeBeats]

Im just here to see the triggered flat earthers

[ThePCD]

430, 000 miles per hour ?? or approx 1mil km per hour ?? I call this BS

[Sol-thefirst]

Aight so we goin to the sun but can't nobody go 'back' to the moon???

[Elmyda-vcew]

The sun is hot! There nasa i saved u a billion dollars!

[davids]

‘It sure looks heavy to me’....i don’t have enough hands to face palm sufficiently.

[JayCk]

This is not the first mission to the sun. There are 3 missions already taking measurements and keeping an eye on it. So why say it's the first mission?

[The_Sock_]

You had one job, one fucking job! And you chose not to call it the Icarus?? Fuck NASA, lol

[Gyork_]

After the probe desintegrated while entering the star's atmosphere, Nasa has concluded that The Sun is indeed hot as they've suspected all along.

[bctopper]

Space research should really be funded by nearly every country on earth since the research is in everyone's interest.

[b-lt]

Uhm it's roughly our 28th mission to the sun. It's the fastest and closest one but certainly not the first. That was Pioneer 5 in 1960.

[edvinasu.]

I'm so glad that they decided to launch it at night. Smart ppl working at NASA.

[pin]

If you want to land on sun u should do it at night

[hankterreros]

To the moon and now the sun? Fool me

[SirRagzter]

Can't wait to send Big Shaq to the sun.

[jairoherrera]

That rocket will definitely melt before touching the sun's surface. A waste of taxpayer money for that.
