Finally there, and it wasn't easy: "It turns out traveling to fleet-footed Mercury and then entering orbit requires more energy, or delta-v, than sending a probe to fly by Pluto."
"The BepiColombo mission cleared a major milestone this week in the final stretch of an eight-year interplanetary voyage to Mercury, the hard-to-reach, scorching hot iron world at the Solar System’s innermost frontier."

💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🚀🪐 The joint European and Japanese #BepiColombo mission is nearing #Mercury after traveling more than 9.6 billion km (~6 billion mi) over almost a decade.
Using nine planetary flybys to adjust its path, the #spacecraft is expected to enter orbit in November 2026 and begin scientific operations in spring #2027, studying Mercury’s magnetic field, #geology, extreme temperatures, and icy #polar regions.

"
Streifen auf dem Merkur zeigen: Merkur ist kein «toter Planet»
"
".. grosse Anzahl von hellen Streifen, sogenannte «Lineae» .. vermutlich durch das Ausgasen von flüchtigen Stoffen aus dem Innern des Planeten entstehen. .. deutet darauf hin, dass Merkur .. geologisch durchaus aktiv sein könnte. .."27.1.2026
