    TRANSCRIPT:

    That what I just alluded to a few minutes ago: seeing something for the first time that nobody else has ever seen and just knowing something new. It must be a little bit like how people feel, how Amundsen felt looking for the South Pole, or it must be that thing that's inside of humans about finding the new and going past the frontiers and exploring the deep sea.
