I think this is about humaity's track record of always pushing the boundaries (whether viewed in a positive or negative light - or both - I'm not quite sure). I don't know - maybe sometimes illustrated as reckless ambition, or sometimes, as almost heroic pioneering. The imagery is indeed rife in this song.
