240 horsepower for the 3.0 liter V6 in a 2009 Mercury Mariner
Approximately 200 pounds.
Because it didn't :)
Because it didn't :)
Wouldn't recommend anything heavier than 1000 lbs
68 pounds its a heffer
Mariner 10 mapped 45% of Mercury back in 1974/75, and Messenger just added another 30% back in January 2008.
Quote from the dealer is $450.00 per axle, rotors and pads.
Mercury's period of rotation would take about 59 earth days
4.5 quarts
Isn't the Mariner the antagonist in the Rime of the Ancient Mariner? He isn't really an antagonist as much, but he isn't supporting the protagonists either.
There were 2 space probes sent to orbit Mercury: Mariner 10 and Messenger. Both attained orbit and sent back information about the planet to Earth. Mariner 10 ran out of energy to send back signals to Earth, but, it is probably still in orbit. Messenger began it's mission earlier in 2011 and is still working, sending information back to Earth. Since rocket power would be needed to land a spacecraft on Mercury, (the planet has almost no atmosphere), there are no plans to land a vehicle on the planet, as it would take too much fuel than we can afford to put into spacecraft at this time. It's too expensive to send an unmanned vehicle that can safety land on Mercury. It's far too dangerous to send humans to Mercury and it will probably never, ever happen in the future.
