The best you can say about him is that he was product of his time in Britain. As an explorer, there's absolutely nothing to learn from him, he couldn't even learn from his own past mistakes! Like having proper clothing for extreme conditions., using clothes which had already proved insufficient on previous missions. And he prepeared for Antarctica like nothing could go wrong. In the most unhospitable elements on earth! The arrogance is appaling. So why is he a hero in the eyes of so many? Must be his writing skills and the British propaganda. Recreations of the race has shown the complete lack of repect for his task, and nature as a whole. And hisatory repeats itself, the Norwegians win every time, just as dominantly.

Right now I'm thinking that the way I'm most likely to get into space is as an explorer for a private company. So I certainly hope that they do find out a way to make space profitable ASAP.

The first half is definitely a candidate for DamnInteresting.com. Perhaps private companies will figure out how to make space profitable and then send out their own explorers, like when they explore for oil. This is a great article!
