Is the uncertainty where the adventure is? And does it have to be something that grand?

It’s a sense of going somewhere no one has gone before. Explorers of less developed worlds get that kind of feeling. They’re not just discovering new things to themselves, but the things they’re discovering are new to the entire known world. That kind of novelty is lost when you get to where we are now.
