    The best result, for me, would be a break-up on its trajectory towards the Sun as we would get much more data that way. A survive & pass around the Sun would yield much less for spectroscopy.

    Nothing is weightless in space, there is gravity everywhere in space. That’s what keeps the moon orbiting the earth and the earth orbiting the sun.
