Exploding Sun

When a solar storm hyper-charges the engine and sends it hurtling toward the Sun, it triggers a cataclysmic solar storm that could blow Earth back into the Stone Age. For those on board including the First Lady and those at Mission Control, preparing for the inevitable seems the last-and only-terrifying option.
