NASA has a number of current and future proposed missions to a large number of places. I am currently working on a proposal for a landed mission to Mercury for submission to NASA's JPL at the end of the summer. Any living cell would be fried to a crisp rather quickly. Water hasn't been found on the planet, something that is necessary to sustain life. If we ever develop the technology to protect ourselves and provide the essentials for life, maybe one day we can live on Mercury.
Seasons are cause by the tilt of the axis relative to the planet's orbital motion.
Mercury's axis is directly perpendicular to its motion, so it has no seasons. No, the most recent observations have shown Mercury to have almost no atmosphere . Mercury is the god of commerce and transportation in Roman mythology. Mercury is the Roman counterpart to the Greek god Hermes , the messenger of the gods. Mercury probably got this particular name because it moves across the sky so quickly.
