    Incredible finding. Would this make mercury a more suitable station for interplanetary travel than other planets? Or, rather, as Mercury might be a little hot, a Mercury-like planet in another solar system? Travel to mercury, wait till it gets close to the destination planet, and ‘jump off’ at the right stop, kind of thing.

      technically you just have to stay on the dark side of Mercury and it’ll be plenty cool :)

          A day on Mercury is around 59 Earth days, so you’d basically just have to move across the surface at a relatively slow speed to stay out of the day side.

          not sure about that one, I’m guessing if there’s a CME event then a lot :)
