Title
Attention Getter or Hook
Throughout human history, the physical universe has often presented dangers to explorers. Nevertheless, were the risks worth the rewards? For example, when primitive humans left their tribal villages to search for food and water, they risked death or injury from dangerous animals. Later, when people sailed the oceans in search of new lands for settlement or trade, many died in terrible storms. Similarly, the ocean of outer space has many dangers, but it also has several unique challenges for explorers.
