– Space is a vacuum with zero atmosphere, so heat does not transfer well. Could we get really close to the sun because of that?

Answer 1

Thats actually not entirely true. Space acts like a vacuum on our human bodies and our spacecraft because of it’s comparatively incredibly low density, but it does have a density. Tartigrades and fungal spores can survive in space.We (humanity) actually just flew a satellite through the outer layer of the sun recently you should google it. Lots of good science there.
