The surface temperature of Mercury ranges from over 400 degrees F. in the daytime to -200 F. (that's below zero) at night. In addition to that, Mercury is constantly bombarded with hard radiation because of its close proximity to the sun and its lack of a strong magnetic field to deflect it. It would be hard to imagine a place much less hospitable to life.
