We've not had a H. floresiensis or H. neanderthalensis yet, though I suppose Hobbits and Uruk-hai could stand in for those two...
Hey, is this that same dig where they had to advertise for skinny women in order to even get into the cave? I think it might be; cool, it's nice to know it was worthwhile.

...someone creates a naledi agent?
Aww, yuss, New Horizons is sending pictures again.
Including the first shot of (a tiny portion of) the nightside - lit by atmospheric twilight.
And, just. This place is beautiful.
(Still waiting on the IAU to canonise the names so I can finish up the Gathering report... ^_^)

When did you hie off to space?
And you didn't invite me?!
That's when we left for Io, though even that was on the back of the Titan trip in '57. But when we got done with Io... well...
Yeah. So that happened.
The claimed loadout of the Io ship has been filled up, but people got on and off at Jupiter. Well, technically we all got off, and picked up a new ship:
If you're out at Jupiter, that's probably evidence in the question of whether the 'leftover' Orions are ex-military or ex-construction...

The only reason Orions were banned in the inner solar system was that most governments hate fun*. Come on, radiation isn't that bad for you! It's the same thing they tried to cure cancer with when I was young!
I might be biased on that one, though. I love those ships. Though I just can't stop laughing like a maniac when the drive is turned on.
*(I'd like to add a friendly reminder that the Democratic People's Haha-Just-Kidding-It's-A-Totalitarian-Dictatorship of Domirossia has a minimum of 10 hours a week of mandatory fun for all citizens.)
I was only trying to help, I don't see why people got mad!
I mean, I'm totally not the one who provided you all the cool stuff you're currently using.
It's okay, though. We have reserves.

Other words, the length of time between now and the time when someone will find it funny/interesting enough to do so.
