ALSO: You will need Oxygen Tanks!
FACTS:
1. Mercury is most known for it's high temperature during the day - but be careful, the temperature can drop from positive to negative at night!
2. Gravity is pretty low on Mercury, so maybe try and get something to hold objects down.
3. In 0-Gravity areas (or nearly 0) peoples muscles don't need to work, so people may get very unfit.
4. Keep in mind that Mercury is very close to the sun, so don't get blinded by the light!
SOLUTIONS:
1. Heat-Resistant tiles during the day, Heat-Absorbing tiles during night. Make them so they can switch around.
2. A gravity machine, bolt things to the floor and foot restraints.
3. Even with a bit of artificial gravity you need to excersise, so stick in a few gyms.
4. Dark-tinted windows work good, and look good!
OTHER USEFUL STUFF:
1. TV's with really really long antanneas!
2. Have one clock that goes regulary with a sign saying 'Mercury Time', and one going 176 times faster that says 'Earth Time'.
3. Use the sun for solar power!
4. A teleportation device to all other spacestations and Earth.
5. Some no-gravity rooms!
6. See-how-fast-you-can-orbit-around-Mercury contests!
