17. Would it be possible to land on an asteroid or on a star? (A K2S Question)

From The Space Library

It will be possible to land on asteroids. We have already landed one robotic spacecraft on one. If you go, be careful not to jump too high, though, because the gravity is so low that you will float away into space. Not even a robotic explorer will be able to land on a star, though, because like our Sun, stars have no solid surface to land on!
