No Mercury 1 was not the first NASA mission, though the the Mercury project was NASA's first project, the first mission in the Mercury project and therefore the first NASA mission was Mercury-Big Joe launched on September 9, 1959.
The first and only American space mission to Mercury was the MESSENGER spacecraft, which was launched in 2004 and entered orbit around Mercury in 2011. MESSENGER provided valuable data on Mercury's surface composition, magnetic field, and exosphere before its mission ended in 2015.
The first mercury thermometer was created by physicist Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit in 1714. He used mercury because it expands and contracts very uniformly with changes in temperature.

In 1962, John Glenn became the first American to orbit the Earth as part of the Mercury-Atlas 6 mission. This historic flight made him a national hero and symbol of the space age.

Mission to Mercury was created in 1965.

The "Messenger" mission to Mercury made a very close pass just last week. The Messenger probe should enter Mercury orbit on March 18, 2011.
Mission to Mercury has 160 pages.
First of all, Mars is a lot closer to Earth than Mercury. The other reason is that since it is further away from the sun, it is not as hot as mercury which makes it easier to send rovers.
unkown
There is currently a multi-year mapping mission going on from a satellite in orbit over Mercury.
