The Voyage of Discovery

facinates me. I just finished Stephen Ambrose's Undaunted Courage, a biography of Meriwether Lewis with focus on the Lewis and Clark search for a water route to the Pacific.

Explorers and their feats have intrigued me since I was very young. Columbus, of course. Vasco Da Gama, Scott, Shakleton to name a few. Alan Sheperd and Neil Armstrong during my lifetime. The dangers. The beauty. The risk. The reward.

I wonder who the explorers of the future will be and what they will explore.
