Default Life on Mercury?

The problem part is water. All life I am aware of needs it. Some spores might
be able to survive, given the exactly right things happen includes impact
location) but i find it hard to see them multiply...


Don't we have decent evidence for ice at the poles (in a
permanently-shadowed crater)? If it is freezing there, and way hot on
the current sun-facing side, I would think someplace underground
inbetween is in the temperature range for liquid water.


If there is a way to get water to exist in the twilight zone then it is
poossible there is life that was carried there by impacts. But - I
haven't read anything about mercury in ages, so I have no idea if there
is ice or not
