I could be wrong, but that's just how i see it. I don't see it as thrillseeking or personal ambition beyond awakening people to what is outside their doorstep.
For that, I will miss him.

ok, i was really shocked at what happened yesterday, and you are right he wasn't all about thrill seeking, the vast majority of the money he earnt was put back in the the environment. he spent millions on large areas of wilderness so that he could preserve it for many future generations, he used his fame to further the cause of conservation.
the guy was indeed selfless, and a "real" person, much more than i can say about basicaly everyone in the entertainment industry.
RIP steve, the world has just become a colder place.
