John,
I'm curious about your impressions and opinions on the upcoming flybys of Mercury by the Messenger spacecraft starting today.
As we have never been given true and accurate information about any other planet or satellite in the solar system or outside the solar system for that
matter is is unlikely we will see anything resembling the truth about Mercury.
What about the claims of a magnetic field for the planet, and evidence of polar ice caps? Do you think the surface temp. really swings 1100* F
between day and night? Do you believe Mercury to be inhabited? Is there industry like mining going on there?
Mercury is inhabited just as Earth, Venus, Mars, Saturn and all of the other planets and satellite within our solar system and outside of it.
There is no 1100* F temperature swing on the planet Mercury. A common misconception is that planets within our solar system have surface temperatures
that are relative to their distance from the sun. That is total fiction.
The sun is an electromagnetic sphere. The energy from the sun is not heat. The energy from the sun is filtered and modulated by a planets atmosphere
to make that planet comfortable for human life.
I haven't heard any stories about what like is like on Mercury but I'll bet it is an interesting place to live and yes probably some mining goes on
there.
124 miles is pretty darn close. They ought to be able to get a really good look.
I am sure that NAZA sent astronauts to Mercury many years ago and that we know who lives there and what it looks like.
Do you think we will get accurate information and unedited images here in the public domain?
Under no circumstances will NAZA ever permit any real substantive information or real photos of any planet or satellite in our solar system or any
other solar system that they have explored to be released into the public domain. They consider it proprietary information for themsleves, DoD and the
Military Industrial Complex, and for their use only.
NAZA considers the rest of here for 2 reasons only. To pay taxes and die.
Deal with it.
Is that a stupid question?
Absolutely not.
