As it was just a science experiment, infinite fuel has been used...
But in the end I achieved this tight orbit!
I tried to land on the sun as well for the fun of it. The surface at 0 m is not solid. Currently debating if I wanna wait the 30 minutes it takes to get to the centre of the sun.
Update for @sergih123@lemmy.world and @alehc@lemmy.ml:
Falling into the sun is a bit time comsuming and finnicky. Try to keep your speed low when you approach the surface, and keep time warp to the lowest you can bear.
The surface is at around -30 km. It looks like this:
Descending further... Long trip. As you approach the core your speed will pick up rapidly. When you're at the core, you'll get slingshotted out of the core at a ludicrous speed, in my case 22248.0 km/s. Interstellar travel before it's implemented?Anyways quite satisfying flying out of the sun's core at a fraction of the speed of light. Can recommend!

That's great, this is what I like about ksp just coming up with whatever and being able to do it.
