Fun fact: The sun is the hardest place to get to in the solar system. It’s less dV to leave entirely than to get to Mercury

It makes a lot more sense once you consider where you are starting from: a rock hurtling around the sun at breakneck speed (29.8 km/s). You can not really bullseye something when you are going almost 30 km per second sideways to it.
