“There is a little bit of danger in the unknown. But human beings are just not apt to back away from something that is a challenge,” says Astronaut Buzz Aldrin in this new video from The North Face. The video explores how humans are driven by curiosity and the need to explore. Dramatic footage and Aldrin’s wise words are the perfect recipe to motivate me to get outside, roam and yes, explore. —Amy Oberbroeckling
