Except for the gravity, living on Mercury would require the same type of environment as living in orbit around the Earth. There is no real atmosphere on Mercury, so you would have to bring your own oxygen, along with fuel, food, and water. Some water and hydrogen fuel could be extracted from water ice found in very deep craters.

The ideal location would be in a crater near one of the poles, where the temperature would not become too hot, and where ice from comets or meteors is thought to be most prevalent. Two polar outposts located several kilometers apart could share power if each was in sunlight for half of each Mercury day (176 Earth days long).

Could humans explode on mercury?

Mercury is extremely hot and has almost no atmosphere. An unprotected human would be dessicated rather quickly. An explosion would not be likely since the heat from the sun and the planet's surface would affect the human's skin first. Or you could strap a grenade to them.
