Default Mercury rocket at the mercy of solar gravity well

Gravity well indeed !, another nuisance lost in 'warped space' with little understanding of the back and forth motion of Mercury around the Sun.

The variable speeds of planets may be a top-down approach where the Sun also travels through spacein the journey of the solar system around the galactic carousel so the planets spend half their orbital traveling in the direction with the Sun and the other half going in the opposite direction. The closer to the Sun the faster planets move, not just each individual planet (Venus moves faster than the Earth) but each planet itself left a magnetic deflection.

These dopes following theorists from 100 years ago and their effin 'gravity wells' - no need to say grow up as I already know you are lost in the past..
