According to U S News and World Report(August 9 2004) A probe called Messanger is going to be launched to Mercury!! It will have to go 4.9 Billion Miles before it get's to it's year long orbit. The orbit is going to have to go pole to pole as trying to go around the planet nearest the sun by the Equator could vey well liquidate the probe. Url is www.usnews.com
