So my question is, hypothetically speaking, if you could get a space vessel to approach the sun Very Closely, and survive, would the background count drop? Hypothetically, what about on the sun's surface, or within it?

Presumably, yes, indeed. It will be a while before we get to test it though, due to the (obvious) problems involved.

Hey, long-time no see Curris. Welcome back. And yeah, I can imagine your theory is spot-on about the sun. Are you going to volunteer for that mission??? ;)

Hmmm... since it takes light several minutes to reach earth, I'm going to guess this is a LONG-TERM contract. ;D Getting back would be a bitch, too- you'd better hope they pay you in advance.

Since when did Mars get breathable air?

It has an atmossphere, yes, but IIRC it's not useful for human breathing at the moment.
And even so, Mars is probably still a better Terraforming project that Luna, simply because of the size.

plant some trees
:)
THAT is what NASZ should be doing
spreading trees and grass seed using the rovers they have there
getting mars up and running

also we dont know about Mars past
it could be that it has some weird mystical past.
oh and yeah mars was the focus of alot of beliefs
its supposed that (according to patterns and such) that Mars orbit during certain biblical periods was very close to earth
or something like that
been awhile since I heard it

Uhhh... I don't know how well grass and trees would do on Mars, either. I mean, I'd like to think they'd thrive, all Dune-style, but to be honest, the environment there is slightly more hostile than ours in pretty much every way.

Also, without an ozone layer, grass and trees and stuff get sunburned too. In fact, with a little more ozone layer, they wouldn't get enough UV light to run photosynthesis. At least, that's what I've been led to believe.

And remember, Mars is COLD!!!! It may look like a hot desert, but that's just becasue we associate red with hot. Think about growing a tree in antarctica and you have a good idea how tough this would be.

I didnt say all of mars is breathable and I didnt say you could breath easylier but at the lower elvetion odds are there are aphspic pockets that could sport a person might be hard breathing but could be done
and there are froms of trees that grow in cold climates

and least we for get the greek god of war Mars

Have you been reading Ray Bradbury's The Martian Chronicles?

A more life/mana - more magic ratio has to come into play at some point.
