Not just to keep him alive, but just to see what all the "cool alien shite on a faraway planet" was about. And he was allowed to experiment with what he found. If he goes into that knowing that the crew is expendable then it's no thing to drop some black alien goo into someone's drink and let hilarity ensue. Not to mention that once he did that, he got an unexpected result with that chick getting pregnant, which allows him more experimentation.
Keeping Weyland alive was, I'd say, his "main" focus, which is why he explored places alone and went into the whole "waking the engineer" thing. All the rest of the shite he did was in the best interest of science IMO.
Yeah, I get that that could be viewed as his motivation. I just found it strange that a supposed logical robot's method of experimentation is drop some goo into a guy's drink.
I still think the movie was good, just could have done a better job of explaining David's actions.

The best of the movie was David, including that fact that his thought processes and motivations were not explained very much. How self aware is he? Does he enjoy the movie or is he just trying to imitate humans as part of his imperative? Does he care what happens to any of them? To the old man? Was it curiosity or orders that drove him? Etc. they can explore these things in the next movies. If all were answered already it would have taken from the movie.
