 Many years ago, the great British explorer George Mallory, who was to die on Mount Everest, was asked why did he want to climb it. He said because it is there.

We set sail on this new sea and it is one of the great adventures of all time. Why some will ask choose this act of faith as our goal. And they may well ask why climb the highest mountain.
