Indiana Jones, Tomb Raider, and Going to space

             When I think about adventuring and exploring I always think about an Indiana Jones movie, a Tomb Raider video game, and even the exploration of space. All of these adventures want to discover and find new things that no one even believed to be possible. People have explored the great unknown by sailing across the world to find new ways of life and have acquired new materials for the world the entire world to see. Others have explored by simply going to lands that no one dare visit for pleasure, because of how dangerous the places may seem. Deep jungles, pyramids, the deep ocean, and mountains all have their secrets to be revealed, but if no one decided to be the one to step up and explore them I do not think we would have the knowledge we have today about those places.
    I believe that people have devoted themselves to a life of exploration because they want to follow their dreams of making history. I think that they want to discover something new for the purpose of  new knowledge on a subject, and they want to give people in the outside world proof that things other than the norm exist out there somewhere. I think they also want to live a life of danger and daring adventure, because of all the things out there to see and do. If I were to be an explorer I am sure it would be oh so extravagant to see all the things in the world or even in space. I think that explorers also have natural curiosity in them that makes them want to know and find the unseen and unknown.
     The sacrifices one must make to live life on the edge as an explorer are very harsh, because they have to leave everything behind them. Having a family is almost out of the question, because they are moving around so much and doing unsafe dangerous things it would be hard to have or make a family life. It would also be harsh to leave behind the ones that they love but it is a sacrifice for what they want to do. I also think that they would be giving up everything and risking their lives to go on the adventure, since there are many dangerous risk that could befall the explorers.
