>>Nice pictures though it seems like such a waste of resources since man would be incinerated if he attempted to make a landing there.

Well, not really, if he landed on the back side he’d be frozen to death.

Are there areas where the porridge is just right?

Survival on Mercury would be an engineering problem, just as it was on the Moon. The similarity with the Moon is probably very great. Mercury may have enough atmosphere to produce windstorms, which may be sandstorms somewhat analogous to those on Mars (which has an atmosphere that is very tenuous).
