Why MERCURY isn't in the Game

Guys, Mercury can't be in the game because it's the hottest planet in the solar system. It basically touches the Sun's CMEs and we would all be dead immediately due to radiation and heat. Why do people want to go to a molten rock and fight the vex? These things blow my mind. Why do people keep saying VENUS is hotter than Mercury? You guys need to learn the order of the planets.

    Venus is hotter than Mercury and we go there. Mercury gets to around 426 Celsius in the day and -173 Celsius at night. Venus gets to around 462 Celsius in the day (hot enough to melt lead) and is that same temperature across the whole planet. North pole? 462 Celsius. South pole? 462 Celsius. Equator? 462 Celsius. Venus is an airless world with a CO2 atmosphere that keeps all heat trapped inside. Venus has 92x the atmospheric pressure of Earth. (Same pressure as 1 Kilometer beneath the ocean.) Radiation from the Sun is absorbed by the Venus and the infrared heat emitted is trapped by the carbon dioxide, which creates a runaway greenhouse effect. Mercury makes 5189651684568456845% more sense than Venus. (NOTE: Science. Learn it before making ridiculous arguments/assumption.)
