      I like the way you think. I think the sun is closer though. Probably easier to get too. I don’t know I don’t work on space travel.

        Its actually easier to launch stuff out of the solar system than to slow stuff down enough to fall into the sun

          I keep hearing that. Again - I don’t work on space physics, so forgive my ignorance on why. However- I’m good with billionaires taking as long as needed to get to our sun, some other maybe hospitable planet, or just dying in the cold of interstellar space while we observe a new holiday of them all fuckin’ off from terra firma.

          Easiest is to just round them up and shoot them and let their corpses rot in a ditch.
