Okay, so going by what we know of him, the building is going to collapse, kill all his friends, and he's going to walk away with a broken leg, and yet get something he very much wants.
A lesson he evidently didn't learn when it came to lying about humanity's technological level and ability to detect him along with his insistence on making the expedition himself.
... after thinking some more about it, I take that back. Chances are that this flashback is meant to give us some background for Gharr, so my new headcanon is that a Ktak joins him up there (self-powered flight FTW) and jumpstarts his interest in xenobiology.
That seems unlikely. Today-Gharr clearly regrets this episode, which he likely wouldn't for an event which launched his career, no matter how sharp of a downturn that career has taken lately.
The two extra arms & somewhat prehensile tail should make climbing this a lot easier.
If this is going where I think it's going, this might be the first instance of Gharrs cranial trauma. (The second being the shuttle getting shot down.)

The Alliance space stretches for an impressive 16 thousand light years along the longest axis and contains approximately 12 billion star systems. Despite that, 99.99% of those star systems haven't been explored even by an automatic mapping drone yet, and the borders of the Alliance space are defined mostly by the reach of spaceships from the nearest colony or space station, and in general are purely informative.

At least until the grownups turn up.
"I'll do something nobody have done before"

That expression tho
"Aw man, this next part suuucked..."
Well, there's no way that he plummeted to death, is there.
My vote's on "and then the firefighters rescued the treed cat in front of a large crowd" ...

He chose his career after asking an insectoid for directions escalated into an hours-long talk, according to the wiki.
... darnit. :-3 Good to have a first headcanon to fall back to ...

So he has always been brash & reckless?
