"Parker Solar Probe was developed as a part of NASA’s Living With a Star program to explore aspects of the Sun-Earth system that directly affect life and society."
Great. There are, of course aspects of the Sun-Earth system that directly affect life and society. The Sun-Earth system provides the heat that makes life of any kind on the blue planet possible. The third rock from the sun would simply be a big asteroid careening through space without the presence of the sun.
We'd all be pretty surprised not to see the sun rising above the eastern horizon on a morning or to see it stationary in the sky, as it was said to have done in Joshua 10:13 :
“So the sun stood still, and the moon stopped, till the nation avenged itself on its enemies, as it is written in the Book of Jashar. The sun stopped in the middle of the sky and delayed going down about a full day.”
We know that such an event would be the result of the earth failing to rotate in space rather than the sun coming to a halt, which would be a catastrophe for everyone, not just the enemies of the Israelites and is in reality a myth.
Be that as it may, no matter what information that can be gleaned through any conceivable scientific investigation of the sun, regardless of the expense, the denizens of earth are helpless in affecting the relationship. While it's interesting that the Parker Solar Probe probably has cost what amounts to a couple of days of US finance of a gang war between two eastern European kleptocracies, it's still money that could be spent on more important problems right here.
