So the person who designs a hydraulic valve in upstate New York that helps to open an ISS solar panel is an explorer?
Of course not. Enabling exploration is not exploration. Queen Isabella was not an explorer. The merchants who sold supplies to Jim Bridger were not explorers. Explorers are the tip of the spear. They're the ones who see new places with their own eyes and bring back stories of Bigfoot and giants, and no one can question them because no one else has been there.
The ISS workers are just workers whose jobs require them to be in an unusual workplace.
