What is EXPLORATION?
Exploration can be geographical
Exploration can be fractal
Exploration can be introspective
Exploration can be expansive
Exploration can be structured
Exploration can be unplanned
Exploration can happen every day
Exploration is continuously seeking new places, new ideas, new knowledge.
Exploration is the essence of being human, what brought us from the forests into the savannah, and beyond the horizons of earth and to the edges of the known universe.
We shall not cease EXPLORATION
