The MOST interesting thing about Mercury that you forgot to mention is the Charged Particle display on the Mercurian nightside. A constant rain of glowing charged particles from the sun can be seen as a psychadelic display from the nightside at surface level as they streak around the Mercurian magnetospheric bowshock to go trailing away from the nightside. To an observer on the nightside surface, this would be a mindbending sight

It's amazing how much an atmosphere impacts overall temp.
You'd think being so close to the sun the surface its self would get so hot it'd retain heat on the dark side. But it doesn't, in fact it seems to immediately lose the heat.
It baffles my mind to think about those extremes switching so fast

That's tremendous, I have always felt compelled to pursue knowledge and power in order to contribute to the betterment of humanity. Been seeking a means to be influential and find out more knowledge about the human race and about the things not everyone is destined to know. I wish to fulfill the goal of enlightenment passed down by our forebears.

2:02 Earth's bulk composition is almost exactly the same as mars, that is if you took the planets apart seperated them into the elements and shaped them into convenient ingots the number of iron ingots, silicon, aluminum ect. Would be pretty much the same just that mars would have 1/10th as many of each, earth is more dense due to it's material being more compressed due to the greater pressure that its material exerts. If you make Mercury earth sized it would rapidly contract by 20-30% as the iron in its core was forced into a smaller volume and if you used Mercury density material to make a planet as big as earth the amount of mass would be significantly more than Earth's mass. Either scenario would result in a planet with much stronger surface gravity than earth.

Messenger is one of my all-time favorites, because of how magnificent and audacious its flight plan was. You can't get there without including relativistic effects, so the fact that the plan went almost perfectly is proof of the value of the rigor of science.
