James M. mostly covered it: The Cage had room for two "subteams," but I think at that point had four or five. (I'd have to go back and check.) The Hippies were among the victims.
They had a few things working against them:
1. They were blue. Blue didn't need more cards.
2. They didn't mechanically fit well with the rest of the set.
3. They needed more (and broader, meaning non-TOS) mechanical support than we were able to give them in that set.
There's a bunch of them in the Cut File, though, awaiting a future team.

Do the Space Hippies make an appearance in A Private Little War? If not, how is it that multiple design teams spent multiple years on a block and somehow none of them managed to work in that theme?
Why doesn't Design like fun?
