Venus the worst planet so hot and acidic.

Mercury - Interesting stuff coming out of it lately. Can support life in it's constantly-dark zones.

Mars - Has water, and can support life.

 Mars actually can't suport human life right now. They have found solid water on Mars. Water does not, and cannot exist in liquid form on Mars. It goes through either sublimation or deposition which is why we find water vapor and ice, but no puddles. Also, Mercury has a average temperature of under -100 degrees Celsius on the dark side. Merucry also is not tidal locked to the Sun yet so there is no permanent dark side.

 I would say Mercury is the worst planet in this solar system. It is only the second hottest planet despite being the closest to the Sun, and is the coldest planet now that Pluto has rightfully been removed from the list. Only a complete failure of a planet could screw itself up that badly.

 

We could live on the dark side of Mercury with spacesuits. No matter what you're wearing on venus, you'd be crushed and then melted.

(Though you do make a good point)

We could possibly live on Mercury's dark side, but we wouldn't be able to set-up any kind of permanent structures. There is no permanent dark side of Mercury. At one point in time or another every side is exposed to the Sun. It rotates so slowly that the day is longer than its year, but it does rotate. Without some form of permanent settlement it would be hard to maintain water reserves due to being put through two extremes in temperature.

Oh yeah. And Saturn with so many rings. They're the richest fucking planet and they can't spare any to our lowly planet!

I'm not saying we ever should go to Mercury, but at least it would be possible (if briefly).

Unlike Venus.

It would have to take perfect planning and we'd have to land at a good spot where it's just around a good temperature for us to land because it can be really cold on the dark side of mercury...

 There is no good spot on Mercury. There is no atmosphere so you are exposed only to the extremes of temperature. It is either the second hottest planet in the solar system, or the coldest. There isn't really a middle ground to live in.

Pluto... I mean, it doesn't even look like a planet... Oh wait!



Random game thought :
Why is Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 getting so much hate? We finally get a real game and they're not even satisfied... I'm starting to hate the gaming community so f****** much...
