You discover a Stargate...

question is too big to put in the poll question so I will type it here instead:
You stumble upon a Stargate after travelling to an ancient underground ruins/temple located in the middle of nowhere far from any sort of populated town or city. You notice the Stargate has a dialling mechanism and on the wall to the side you see what appears to be a single dialling address that corresponds to the symbols on the dialling input mechanism. You input the address and hit the activation button, the Stargate activates opening up the Event Horizon (wormhole entrance) before your very eyes. What would you do (keeping in mind you know nothing of what will be on the other side with no guarantee of making it back)?
My first thought was to go through IMMEDIATELY, but my head says "hold on a mo, how do you know the environment on the other side is safe for human life?!".
What i would do would be to send a camera through to have a look first and see if there is any vegetation and another dialling mechanism, vegetation would mean oxygen and as long as there are no hostile aliens on the other side destroying my camera (or MALP lol), i would jump through without a 2nd thought...
Tell the authority's?! HELL NO! they would bury any knowledge of it and would only look at it from a POV of exploitation.
IF i found myself in such a privileged situation, the first person i would be calling is Erich von Daniken.
