The wording on this isn't quite so.
Traveling to the sun would just take enough energy to escape earth and initiate a fall into the sun.
What takes the energy is building the orbit to pass this close and bug out again.
I'm glad to see this probe built and flying. There is much we do not understand with the sun and information gained will let us better question the universe.
