Our Drive to Boldly Go | Origins: The Journey of Humankind

·Nov 11, 2024

Our thirst for exploration has transformed our species from nomads into astronauts, spurring new innovations, opening up the globe, and clearing the path to new and distant worlds. We explore, not just to reach new lands but for the journey itself. It is in the adventure that we discover who we really are.

Our discoveries about the world are rivaled only by what has been revealed about the human condition. We are a race of explorers. We risk our lives in the pursuit of new frontiers, new experiences, and new knowledge. The spirit of discovery is built into our biology, our culture, and our mythology.

No man can fully grasp how far and how fast we have come. [music playing] Wherever adventure takes us in the future, whatever challenges we face, we know that the spirit of discovery will always guide us. Our journey has only just begun.

We set sail on this new sea because there is new knowledge to be gained. Because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills. Because that challenge is one that we're willing to accept. The vast stretches of the unknown and the unanswered still far outstretch our collective comprehension.
