  • While getting a rocket or probe to hit the sun smack in the middle sounds hard to do, you can get obliterated by it with much less delta-v.

    You need to get to the Earth’s escape velocity and just cleverly align the angle of escape so that you get an eccentric enough heliocentric orbit that you’d end up some 6 million kms close to the sun. Anything closer than that is literally overkill.

    This is sounding oddly specific. OP, please don’t kill your family member.

    Edit: Actually, I’d like to add something. If you were to suffocate someone with a pillow or poison them, both of them would point to foul play, which would instantly pull in a list of possible suspects. In that list, the ones with motive would be investigated a bit more: ie, had a spat before the death. And from the on, it would be up to match evidence, now that an investigator knows what they’re looking for, it won’t take long to put 2 and 2 together.
