More diffuse even than than the plasma in the tokamac, which while even hotter, can impact the walls of the reactor with no effect. High heat, low energy density; like burning yourself with a 5 million degree bit of matter 1/1000th of a speck in size. The corona, whilst as hot as mentioned, is vanishingly diffuse.

No need to plant another one. The sun, on the other hand, is still "unclaimed." Presumably, Weiner knows that parts of the sun can get quit a bit hotter than that, and that the sun isn't that close to the earth, etc etc. But then again, he doesn't really need 100% scientific accuracy for the joke. I mean, come on, it's not XKCD... It is definitely the sun:
(1) It’s yellow/orange
(2) There’s no need for a force field to survive 6000K on the moon
(3) We already have a flag on the moon. No need to plant another one. The sun, on the other hand, is still “unclaimed.”

The described force field obviously has enormous value, entirely separate from its ability to land flags on celestial objects.

It would never make it there. The only problem is, the plasma bubble would be great for surviving on the surface, but the corona is about 5 million degrees K. It would never make it there.

"Do you have a flag?" What I wonder is why the President is "The Goddamn President", unless I'm exposing my lack of street talk knowledge here.

I especially like Kamino Neko's references to wieners. Anyone who claims any part of space is a big one. Well, I (think) I’m glad this is here because I thought it was a badly colored moon too.
