So much easier to build the Wall. The Trump Wall

Read the Mars Red-Green-Blue trilogy. The final book proposes how to survive on Mercury.

The expense would be incredibly high. There would have to be an awfully good promise of a payoff. Maybe hidden minerals.
The article indicates the possibility of water, but then we return to the expense issue. Transportation in what form? It would almost have to be a solid form until reaching our lower atmosphere.
We may be better off first spending money to colonize the moon. At least we (one presumes) have been there before.
Google, the maker of Tesla, who’s name escapes me, The founder of Virgin Records, Zuckerberg and a few select others may be interested in such a venture.

Earth First!
We’ll mine the other planets later.

Mercury might be a good spot for solar panels...
Maybe a competitive advantage for some high heat processing jobs.

The Moon is a better target.
It has plenty of water too. Closer to Earth, as well as being in the habitable zone making it far easier to terraform under a dome, than Mercury where you are going to be living in the dark all of the time.

I mean I’ve been deep sea diving with air tanks, but we really are capable of building a wall.
