I always found funny that in the classic series we had stuff like Duo, the Stardroids, planetary exploration in MM3, Wily building a huge ass fortress that went to the moon in MM10, and in later series, space is maybe not forgotten, since you have stuff like Weil and Omega in exile, the Jakob elevator, and Elysium in MML, but I feel like space exploration and colonization should have been waaaay more advanced say, in the ZX series. Thoughts?

How much do you think one of those pellets that Mets fire would hurt a regular person?
