The planet is very hot on the side facing the sun, up to 800°F (425°C), but in the near vacuum there, it could be dealt with by shielding and cooling. With Mercury's "day" being 58.6 of our days, astronauts could spend weeks on the "cold" side facing away from the Sun, or on the more-temperate boundary zones.
