I think they should name the probe Icarus. I also hope that our government volunteers to man it...

It would be closer than the planet Mercury. My worry is circuitry and mechanisms that can't handle the searing heat and radiation. If it could it surely can't endure a long time. I'm just a moron though not a rocket scientist, but I hope they have this thought out before they waste tens to hundreds of millions on something that will poop out when a 25 cent wire melts. Look up the Hubble telescope that took the US years to get working right, and only because it was in low earth orbit.
