Human motivation is a difficult concept for me.
Take the situation on Terra Nova, for example. A lost colony ... a mystery ... one of the hazards of colonization. Yet these humans display an uncanny need to solve such mysteries. This compulsion ... this 'need to know'... seems to be a major part of their collective personality.
I admit, Mr. Mayweather's enthusiasm was a bit contagious. I found myself caught up in the search for answers ... for an explanation of the mystery here. This isn't logical, however. It isn't the Vulcan way.
But I wonder ... how many Vulcan expeditions have met similar fates?
