∙ 13y agoThere have been no manned missions to Mercury (or any other planet) due to the great distances involved. Any attempt would require substantial thermal protection because of the intensity of the Sun's heat there.
The first unmanned probe, Mariner 10, passed extremely close to the planet and took many photographs of the surface. Another unmanned NASA probe, MESSENGER, was launched in 2004 and will orbit the planet beginning in March, 2011.
