WASHINGTON D.C. - At a recent visit to the NASA facilities in Cape Canaveral, Florida, President Bush expressed hope U.S. astronauts would be able to land a man safely on the sun within 10 years.

“One of our earlier Presidents set the goal of landing a man on the moon and that certainly sounded remarkable at the time. I see no reason why we couldn’t eventually get a man to walk on the sun without injury," Bush said.

1. I gotta check out this web site. Looks like The Onion has competition!!

Here's my favourite part:

"The only way to unlock the sun's mysteries is to have our astronauts do a lunar landing on its surface," said Bush. "Then, they can collect all of the astrological information we need. With this information we might one day find a way to cool off the sun and put an end to global warming."

him be the first man on the sun. He can take Dicky too!

"What's that?"
"It's a large ball of glowing gasses...."
