The Edge

“Because it’s there” is the famous answer given by George Mallory to the question as to why did he want to climb Mount Everest. Most explorations & adventurous endeavours can only be explained in hindsight when the person considered “mad” in his times is hailed as a “pioneer” for being the first one in the field. You can’t explain why you do what you do if it is outside the realm of human understanding at the time. 

But it is these crazies who have gone beyond known limits to increase the spectrum of human possibilities.

As Arthur Clarke beautifully put it: The only way to discover the limits of the possible is to go beyond them into the impossible
