Oh boy...I'm afraid that the unenviable task of enlightening you uneducated plebs must fall to me. Well, first off: there is no such thing as the ""surface"" of the sun: the sun is made of gases and fire, so it can't have any solid crust. Have you ever heard of the "surface" of a campfire? And how do you propose to get these Tardigrades to the sun? Space travel? Don't tell me that the government wastes billions of my taxpayer dollars shipping some tiny bug 100 miles to the sun just so some scientist geek can write a paper that will never produce any practical good to anyone. And finally, I'm pretty sure that flying to the sun is impossible because the astronauts couldn't look at it to see where they were going.Next time, think before you poset here.

If they were blasted into space, they are the one creature that could end up on mars. But mars has no tardigrade food and has toxic chemicals in the sand.

>>8132426
According to Wikipedia, tardigrades can survive a maximum temperature of 150 °C. The temperature of the sun surface is 5500 °C. So, they aren't even close.

Depend if it's a sun made of ice or lava.
