Hi Daniel

the simple answer to your question is no.

The Sun has no solid surface to land on, and as you say correctly the temperature reached by a ship approaching the Sun is very high. You wouldn't want to put people anywhere near it!

For some time, NASA has had a plan for a spacecraft - unmanned of course - called Solar Probe, which should fly to within about two million kilometers of the Sun. Even at that distance the engineering problems of making heat shields, and components that will function there, are huge. It is not certain that such a probe will ever fly as - apart from the technical challenges, it is really expensive. But if you want to see more about the plan then see:
