Does Mecury spin as well as revolve around the sun? Because we spin and revolve we dont have any areas that are in permenant shadow.

Cool find, could unlock a lot more secrets that we will never be told about.
I'm curious if Earth has any places (on land) that are permanently lost in shadow?
Where. Only in caves and I dont think that is what this poster is thinking.

there are numerous locations on earth that never see sunlight , that are similar in atmospheric content to mercury , underground caves with toxic gases that have microbal life !
Im sure that NASA are doing the damage control plan here , it cant be anything else

Really, if you talk about wasted money that could be put to a better use, think of all the wars in the Middle East, all the money going into maintaining strong military presence in the East, all the money and weapons going to those the USA considers its strategic allies. NASA's budget is a fraction compared to that. Besides, scientific and engineering advances in space have benefited common people on earth. For example, image-processing techniques designed for the Hubble Telescope are now used to help with early detection of breast cancer.

start your post with mercury, end with God knows what....
You need a break man.
That didn't take long.
Either you think everything has to do with that or you were extremely bored while posting. That sort of language is what those very people you blame use. Those subjects are on ATS and other sites all day every day.
We talk about them all day in person too.
I can't even describe that transition in your post..... love mercury.......sheeple people.
Take a break. You could use one bud.
EDIT:

That is a great site with a nice break down on mercury's rotation. I have only read MUCH older material on the planet mercury. I guess People were just wrong for hundreds of years about mercury. It is funny how actually seeing things with your own eyes can change what you think of them from a far.
