the only Ivan I know is Ivan the Terrible, named that way because of his orders to slaughter thousands.......but I guess that's wrong.

Hmmm, there was the Three-Kingdoms-Period around 1AD with the Paekche, Silla and something else kingdom. 
But I know there was something before that. Some single kingdom around 2000BC, Koson, Choson or such. Not sure about the spelling. But that would be the earliest I know of.

The Three Kingdoms are later. In 1 AD, North Korea is under Chinese rule.
Nope, not Chosun that I'm thinking of. And I don't think any Korean kingdom existed in 2000 BC. Heck, I'm not even sure if any Chinese state existed in 2000 BC. Civilisation in East Asia got off to a slower start than those further west.

Sorry to disagree, but I just looked it up again! 
In Korean history the Three-Kingdoms period was from 57 BC until 668 AD, with the Koguryo kingdom (the one i forgot), the Paekche kingdom and the oldest and longestliving of all three, the Shilla kindom.
And according to my sources, the oldest known Korean kingdom was founded in 2333BC, the Choson or also called Ko-Choson kingdom. The year is also the reason why I remembered that one!
I now see that there is another Choson kingdom, from the 14th till the 20th century, but that is the late Choson period.
I have now also looked up some source on the net and they agree with my memory and the history book I´ve looked up again!
Here: Source 1
Source 2
Civilisation didn´t start later in East Asia! There were already the first dynasties in China before the rise of Greece, at least according to the legends. The first dynasties date back far beyond 3000BC in China.

Koryu kingdom?
I was thinking of Koguryo, since it was the earliest organized and recognizably Korean entity IIRC. But never mind, I could be wrong. 
Alright, next question's on Lucky.

Well, ok.
Hmmm..... let´s see!
I´ll try this one:
A single NASA space probe was the first to fly through the Asteroid belt, the first to make closeup pictures of Jupiter and was the first man-made object to leave our solar system.
What name did this space probe have, when did it launch and when did it leave the solar system (year)?
Extra:
How far away (approx.) is it now?
Is it still the farthest away object? If not, why?
As you can see my hobby is astronomy, let´s see if someone can answer this!

I can't remember the name but I'm sure it began with a P. Whatever, it's the one with the plaque on the side with an inscribed picture of a man and woman and a diagram of where it came from.
But something else has been launched that was going faster so I thin it has been overtaken by another probe, Voyager I think? .

Yes, quite right!
That´s the answer to the second extra question.
It has been overtaken in 1997 by Voyager 2.
It was the first deep space probe success of the NASA and therefore all its great achievement have been fully published by NASA.
But what is the name of that probe, launching year and year of leaving the solar system?
Someone should be able to remember it, come on!
Think a little: Voyager, Ranger, Surveyor.
Now what could be the one with P...? :enlighten
They are all a bit similar in their name.
