Best Answer

The silk road was a long hard dangerous expensive trip. All were looking for a means to Asia without having to use the silk road were very happy to try to find an alternate route. The whole purpose was to make money and to bring goods to Europe that people wanted. It would be like we were still using wagon trains to deliver things to stores. None of us would regret using another means of delivery.
