A Messenger To Mercury: Quote: "A Delta 2 rocket left Earth in spectacular fashion in the early morning of Aug. 3, 2004, sending a NASA spacecraft on a winding journey through the inner solar system. Final destination: Mercury. Called Messenger, the $427 million probe will travel for 6-1/2 years before reaching the planet closest to the sun. Although Mercury can get as close as 50 million miles from Earth, Messenger will have to travel almost 5 billion miles to enter orbit around the scorched planet." Link
