    You don’t need to hit the sun dead center to incinerate something in the sun, just get it within the orbit of mercury and it’ll take care of itself.

    Also what’s wrong with firing it into an orbit that’ll decay into the sun? You don’t need to 1 shot these things.

        Pretty sure that is not true

          Well it’s either that or we’re slowly falling out of orbit, no? The Sun will die and consume us before we spiral into it though, I think?

            Orbits are stable until affected by some force. Earth orbit is table as long as we can forecast it but in the long run other planets might change them one way or another
