I wonder if anyone saw this news item.

"THE STATE News Agency of North Korea has confirmed today that the country
has become the first in the world to ever land a man on the sun.

It reported that astronaut Hung Il Gong left for the sun on a specially
designed rocket ship at approximately 3am this morning.

Hung, who travelled alone, reached his destination some four hours later,
landing his craft on the far side of the lonely star.

“We are very delighted to announce a successful mission to put a man on
the sun.” a North Korean central news anchor man said on a live broadcast
earlier. “North Korea has beaten every other country in the world to the
sun. Hung Il Gong is a hero and deserves a hero’s welcome when he returns
home later this evening.”

I read he travelled at night to avoid the heat
