Low orbit around kerbol?

[MatzahMan]

So I was wondering today: What is the lowest possible orbit around Kerbol? I have always had a dream of building a space station/fuel depot around every body in the Kerbol system. So I was thinking the sun might be a fun one to knock off, so does anyone know how low to the sun you can be before burning up/exploding/whatever?

According to the wiki, the closest one can get before the heat destroys your ship is about 1300m.

You need like 25,000 delta V to get in a low solar orbit, maybe even more......

But if you have that much in the tank, it's a lot more fun to burn it prograde instead of retrograde at a Pe of 1301m and see how fast you're going when you pass Eeloo
