Do you have a Forgotten planet?

Well, do you have a planet (or a moon) which you totally forgot it was here, thus you have never visited? Mine is Dres, I have never sent anything, neither tried to send something there. It is only now I'm sending a manned mission to this planet...

What's yours? ;)

I don't visit the outer moons of jool very often and have only ever been to eeloo once when it first came out. Other than that dres and the innermost planet who's name I'm actually forgetting right now :P

Since science was implemented I usually just hit up eve, duna and their moons, max out the tech tree and stop playing until the next update.

EVERY FRICKIN PLANET.

Okay, I haven't forgotten about them per se, but in the past I've only ever sent anything to Eve and Duna... and I upgraded (read: made a new Career save) before the Duna probe got there. Oh, and I did send a probe to Jool once in Sandbox, but that itself was to remind myself that it existed and was something I should be trying to explore.

Real missions, as in "really playing", so mostly since career: with return and not just for "I was here" probes: Mun, Minmus, Duna with manned missions, flybys/crashes of/on Ike, Moho, Eve with probes.

Additionally since I started playing: "colonizations" of Eve and Laythe, flybys of Jool.

Still (a) whole world/s out there for me to discover!

I haven't forgotten any, it's just that I haven't been to some of them for a while (Moho, Jool and its moons, and Eeloo). I used to seriously neglect Eve, but it recently has been quite the centre of attention, with my Grand Tour mission currently completing its Eve objectives. The grand tour should resolve any feelings of being forgotten amongst the planets, as I'll land on everything that can be set down upon.

Big mission, though. Can't wait to get back to Pol again :D

Eeloo and Moho are at the extremes of the system so I challenged myself to do missions there. Eve and Duna are close and interesting, I've done more missions there than to any other body outside the Kerbin system. Jool and its moons are fun because it's like a tiny, varied solar system in its own right.

Dres somehow gets forgotten. I've read that it was meant to be a placeholder for a second gas giant system, but I don't know if that's accurate or still in the works.

The innermost and outermost are probably the ones I forget about most often. I've sent a probe to Moho, but didn't get a good intercept and it was lost forever. I've never been to Eeloo.

I'm slowly building my way out. I've now landed on Duna and returned. I've done a probe to Dres. Next step will be a lander for Dres. But I've become distracted with building a Mun base to get a rover up there for more/easier science.

Loads of them for me. Anything Jool or beyond because I get bored of messing around with things so far away when I have nicely established systems closer. Dres becuase it seems to just fade into the background half of the time on my map, it's like I don't even see it. And last but not least is Moho because I always arrive needing to burn off much more Delta V than I have with me so just stopped trying in the end. I like to think it leaves me something else to try should I get bored of messing around the closer systems again soon.
