Fans can rest assured that Dos Equis will reveal a new Most Interesting Man in the World in 2016, as this is not the end of the campaign, but an evolution, the company said in a statement. The final ad for Goldsmith has The Most Interesting Man taking a one-way trip to Mars.
Mariner 10 took 147 days to get from Earth to Mercury. More recently, NASAâs MESSENGER spacecraft launched on August 3, 2004 to study Mercury in orbit. It made its first flyby on January 14th, 2008. Thatâs a total of 1,260 days to get from Earth to Mercury.
It takes 88 Earth days for Mercury to complete an orbit of the Sun, about 1/4 of an Earth year. The day on Mercury is unusual. The planet's spin is extremely slow, taking about 58.7 Earth days to make one rotation. This is exactly 1.5 turns for each orbit. The result of these two periods is that the solar day is greatly extended, and lasts about 176 Earth days (sunrise to sunrise).
