Space is a fascinating thing - heck, science in general is great as it changes our perception of the world, and our toys follow. This entire line was conceived before man ever sat foot on the moon, so the potential for our being alone in the solar system was a lot different.

A lot has changed in the last two years, namely the line finished its five-year mission and the license expired over at the Four Horsemen.
