On October 8, 2018, ESA launched BepiColumbo to Mercury. But did you know that there was another spacecraft that had considered a flight to Mercury at the same time? Cassini briefly considered doing a flyby of Jupiter to bring it to Mercury the same time that BepiColumbo would be there. I briefly discuss this strange plan that could have taken place.
