MESSENGER is the current mission to Mercury. The only other mission to that planet was Mariner 10.
There have been no manned missions to Mercury.
Yes, space probes have visited Mercury. The first was Mariner 10, which flew by the planet three times in the 1970s, providing the first close-up images and data about its surface and environment. More recently, the MESSENGER spacecraft orbited Mercury from 2011 to 2015, delivering extensive information about its geology, magnetic field, and atmosphere. These missions significantly enhanced our understanding of the innermost planet in our solar system.
We have sent probes that have flown past Saturn. The Cassini space probe is currently in orbit around the planet. It is impossible to land anything on Saturn because it does not have a surface. We have, however, landed a probe on Titan, Saturn's largest moon.
Actually, the element mercury is unrelated to the name of the planet, even though there may be just a little. Both the planet and the metal derive their names from the Roman god Mercury, based on the Greek god Hermes.
No space missions have landed on Neptune or flown by it. The only spacecraft that has visited Neptune is Voyager 2, which conducted a flyby of the planet in 1989. There are no current plans for future missions to Neptune.

Whoever answered this put a question..retard
Mercury has only been explored by space probes, specifically Mariner 10 in 1973, and MESSENGER in 2004. Unrelated to the planet are the Mercury spy satellite program of the 1990s, and the 1959-1963 human spaceflight program Project Mercury.
As of 2014, humans have not set foot on the planet Mercury. To date, the only probes sent have been Mariner 10 which did a flyby, and the MESSENGER orbiter; both probes from NASA.

No one has every been to Mercury. The furthest man has been is to the Moon. Probes have been sent to Mercury
There were 2: Mariner 10 and MESSENGER. Both are inactive now.
Probes or missions to planets vary in travel times depending on the distance between Earth and the target planet. For example, it can take anywhere from a few months to several years to reach a planet like Mars. The dates of these missions are carefully planned based on the alignment of the planets and optimal launch windows for efficiency and fuel savings.
Humans have sent space probes to take pictures of Mercury from orbit around the planet, but we have not sent a man to Mercury. Sending people to Mercury would be hard because it is so dangerously close to the sun.
Yes, there are 44 missions.
Yes, NASA has sent a couple of unmanned probes to examine Mercury, Mariner 10 which did a flyby and the MESSENGER orbiter.
