>>2066920Technically correct but not true in a meaningful sense. This is why genres like historical fiction, fantasy, space opera, and western are so popular. Space is technically an unexplored frontier, but space exploration is not anything like Star Trek. Nicholas Meyer's assessment of the series when he was hired to direct a movie was that it was "Horatio Hornblower in Space."
You are never going to sail the South Pacific charting islands and making contact with isolated tribes. You are never going to discover an entire continent with and make first contact with new civilizations and new species. You will never walk through miles of land that hasn't been photographed from space dozens of times for google maps.
Not that you would have done any of that, had you lived in a different time (odds are you'd have died of an easily preventable illness shortly after birth) but the fact that there's still wild land in places like Alaska and Canada doesn't change the fact that most /out/ places are literally parks set aside to preserve wild nature.
