Station in the Sun's orbit
The navigation table takes your station into the Sun's orbit, a quarter of its radius above its blazing face: the base of the last descent.

How to get it
From any orbit choose the Sun at the navigation table: the dearest way of all (about 7.6 km/s from the Earth, 5.5 from Titan, 31 dewars of helium-3).
What it is for
The point of no return: from here the solar suit takes you down; no rocket lands on the Sun, nothing takes off from it. When the Colossus falls and you wake at home, the ship flies back to the Earth's orbit by itself.
Why it exists
