Does it have anyone in it? Maybe a few billionaires who went for the ride? Eh?

I'm curious how I got it into that orbit. If I remember correctly, it takes a lot of fuel to get close to the Sun.

It took a long time and a lot of gravitational assists, mostly around Venus, to get to its current orbit.
