Hungarian first man to land on the Sun

In summary, a great shot was captured at sunset and shared on Yahoo news. The conversation also included a joke about Aggies planning to land on the sun and a photo of a cute parrot.

It's a good thing he waited until the sun was going down. It's not so bright then.

Kind of like the Aggies astronauts who were planning a mission to land on the sun. When told that it was too hot and that they would be incinerated, the Aggies replied, "We're going to land at night." :biggrin:
