Don't worry Louis. They'll plan the fly-by to occur at night. |

| Sounds like a really interesting mission. Operating so close to the Sun the craft won't require huge arrays of solar cells. And the arrays will retract into the carbon foam shield on the close approaches. Hope I live long enough to see some of the results of this mission. |

| Also, the passes via Venus and close flight by Mercury are interesting. I wonder if they're going to also probe those planets. |
