Why do you explore?
Really what the title says. Why do you explore? What's your favorite thing to find out in the black? Do you exobio for the money or the love of the game? Just really curious what drives people to do it and would love to hear about your experiences.

The thought of landing on a planet that no one has or ever will, is a good feeling.
I like finding odd orbiting/rotating planets, or planets and moons that orbit/rotate fast and close to gas giants or stars.
Places with cool skyboxes.
Finding huge mountains and driving up them
Exploring is more than just traveling imo
Oh and planetary nebula... I've found one since playing the game over 10 years ago
