I generally don't like lobbyist firms, but Max Sandlin works for Mercury, so that kinda helps it in my book.

Mercury has a unique orbital pattern in the solar system. Unlike the moon which always shows the same face to the earth, Mercury does not keep the same face to the sun. As seen from the stars it rotates exactly three times for every two orbits around the sun. As seen from Mercury's surface it has a day that is exactly two Mercury years long. For that reason I vote FP.

I did a report on it in 6th grade, so FP of course.

     It's amazing that Mercury is becoming tidally locked to the Sun, even though it's still 46 million kilometers from the Sun at periapsis. It makes you realize how strong the Sun's gravitational pull is.

Perhaps the most over-rated of the Sailor Scouts.

     One of my first thoughts when reading the thread title was how many different interpretations of Mercury were possible. Sadly, that one did not occur to me.
