      I think a mission to the heart of the sun may need a more powerful magnet than we can manage. :laugh: Plus the gravity may be a problem. Surprisingly, the heat may not be the biggest hassle - laser refrigeration[^]. David Brin wrote a book using it - "Sundiver".

      Did you know: That by counting the rings on a tree trunk, you can tell how many other trees it has slept with.

          I always exaggerate; and I'd give my right arm to be ambidextrous. :-D
