CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) - NASA is about to embark on its hottest
mission ever, to Mercury. The Messenger spacecraft, to be launched
next week, will be blasted by up to 700-degree heat as it orbits the
tiny planet closest to the sun - so close that it would be as though
11 suns were beating down on Earth.
