That's what the premise of this post was. It's a common saying to "shoot something into the sun", which sounds easy at first but is actually quite hard to do. That's the joke

My argument is it's more energy efficient to shoot something towards the sun that will have the same result as hitting the sun than it is to get it out of the solar system.
