Manned Mission to the Sun.

NASA is doing a manned mission to the Sun. They assure us its safe because they will do the landing at night.
You were commandeered as the designated volunteer.
Mission details: You'll be in a cramped module the size of an affordable apartment for eighteen months. You will in fact return safe and sound.
Who or what would you rather take with you?

My best friend is a great guy, but he'd get as hell in a space capsule for 550 days. There'd be two people leaving and one returning
I chose the Internet first, also for sustainability, and my best friend + the internet if I could take two. The Internet provides a lot of stress relief and entertainment, making both our stays a lot more enjoyable.

being in space I don't think you should need the internet for entertainment the view should be enough don't you think? I chose the internet too but not for entertainment purposes, just for communication with anyone plus documentation, research info etc.

No doubt I wouldn't want to be alone, as I would probably go insane. (I would never make in iso in prison for that reason)
Only flaw with your survey is even at "night" the sun is still not safe to land on or get even close to and we would die. So on second thought maybe I shouldn't bring a friend lol.

Cool thread.
Once, I attended a scientific seminar talking about this very thing, except it was a manned mission to mars.
Who do you take? All men?, all women? Old people? younger people? People you think may fall in love? It talked about team efficiency under long-term, high pressure, close quartered environments.
Very interesting.
I am for friend and the internet.

Dude, no need to flame, it was purely hypothetical. It was said as more of a joke.

I chose drugs as my single and drugs and internet as the two. Hopefully you mean enough drugs to last the duration of the mission.
I'd say a year and a half by myself with the right drugs would be pretty mind opening (possibly damaging too but I'm willing to take that risk).
I chose the internet because I could stay in contact with all my friends instead of just hanging out with one.

You're an idiot, the sun doesn't cool off at night, you'd have to wait for an eclipse to land on it.
