Mercury would be a denser propellant than xenon/other Nobel gasses used for ion thrusters in orbit. There’s been a ton of other insane fuel types proposed over the years which thankfully haven’t been used (although a lot of rockets have and still use toxic hypergolic fuels like hydrazine)
Good vid going over some of these fuels: https://youtu.be/_wLk2j7_KB0

They’re still going to launch the 6 operational starliner flights on Atlas V’s, and Amazon has bought several of them for their Kuiper satellite constellation.
Personally I doubt starliner is going to keep flying once the 6 ISS missions are over, regardless of launch vehicle.
