He said, “The French people are going to send some men to the sun in a few months’ time. That’s much farther away than the moon.” The Englishman was very surprised when he heard this, “ Oh, yes, it is.” he said., “ but the sun is too hot for people to go to.” The Frenchman laughed and answered, “We aren’t foolish. We won’t go to the sun during the day, of course. We’ll go there during the night.”
