Not likely. I think our sun will go red giant and swallow the earth...in maybe a billion years...maybe.

You could try and build a steam rocket like that flat earther to ram yourself into the sun.

According to the latest research, there's approximately a 1% chance that one or more of the four inner planets in our Solar System today — Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars — will become orbitally unstable over the next few billion years.

It says something about the appalling proclivity for short-term thinking that characterises our era that neither of the Presidential candidates proposed any plan for addressing this problem.
