Oh, I... it's not hard to say it.

Um, that's tough.

Let me think about that one for a minute.

Exploration is in people 's blood, some more than others, I think.

But if you have questions and you don't pursue them, then to me it's a life unlived.

It's part of human nature to be curious and to want to learn more about the world.

It's where you find yourself, where you find new things, where you grow.

It keeps life exciting. I mean that's what exploring is about.

That's what drives people to, like, the highest mountain and the deepest crevices. I don't think they 'll ever stop.

Without exploration there will be no progress. Exploration is trying to learn why and how and where.

We think we know this place, but we don't. We think we know ourselves, but we don't. We think we understand how things work, but we don't.

By knowing what's out there, we care about what's out there.

And if we have more to care about, then we engage more fully with our world and more fully with our human family, and we act, you know, with love.

That's why exploration is so fundamentally important.
