Humans have never set foot on Mercury. In fact, much of the direct observation was done by the Mariner 10 probe that flew by the planet in 1974-1975. Currently the 2004 NASA probe MESSENGER (MErcury Surface, Space ENvironment, GEochemistry and Ranging) is studying the planet, and will orbit it in 2011.
