Exploration
The Good and not so Good
Imagine• You’ve only heard stories
– Filled with myths• Sea monsters, prehistoric animals, cannibals
• The Navigation is questionable– Sure advancements have made it better, but still– On top of that, a lot is based on celestial navigation
• The stars• Many have gone, and many have not returned• The lands and seas you are going to are unknown• You’ll be the first yes, but who knows that when your dead• But still you set sail• WHY?????
WEALTH AND FAME
• The opportunity to bring riches to your nation• The opportunity to have it named after you• The opportunity to be the first• The opportunity to be Rich and Famous• People may love baseball, basketball, football,
soccer, volleyball– But they play it for that chance to make it to the
bigs• To roll in paper, Escalades, and be on Cribs!!!

• Second– GOLD!!!
The Good
