In this episode you get up to speed on two centuries of Mercury colonisation, from the first BepiColombo missions, to having all Earth's energy coming from the reflector shields installed on the planet's surface. We discuss why robots are heavily involved, what global cooling is, and what happens when Venus gets in the way. Or Mars… or some other planet. Oh, and we learn the pros and cons of using Gravity Belts!
