490 people times $38 application fee. $18620 collected thus far.

Maybe someone could start a site to send people to the sun? I'm sure it would work if they went at night.

Another article [1] says over 20,000 people applied, which is over three quarters of a million dollars.

You'd make more if you took money to send third parties to the sun.

Indeed, and when they get back, they will be going to live on a farm in the country with lots of other friendly people, water, food, etc., where they can run free... but no, you can't visit them :)
