When was the most recent time that NOBODY was in orbit around the earth?
There has been a _continuous_ human presence in space for a number of years now. On what date did that continuous presence start?
Note: I'm NOT asking, "when did people start going into space." I know that was 1959. I'm asking, "when was the last time outer space was completely free of humans?"

The last date on which there was no human being in space was October 30, 2000. Soyuz TM-31 launched on October 31, taking crew 1 to the International Space Station.

It was completely free of humans before the space station. Humans are on that all the time now.
