re: #50 William Barnett-Lewis

That’s a yes and no. In theory, you might be able to mess with time but it’s a star trek thing because you need ftl & to be so close to the sun (iow, deep in the gravity well) as to make Mercury seem like Pluto. It’s pretty much stuff some physicists have messed with for the fun of it but no one takes it seriously.

Mercury itself would be not that much more difficult to visit than the moon.

even figuring in the temperature?
