OP Hero Journey: Elon Musk
10K HP: The First Rocket Landed Back on Earth Here
yudashkai
12/21/2015
Listen
In "10,000 Hours of Play," Yu-kai Chou describes Elon Musk as the player who acquired "a vast variety of synergetic abilities to become what we consider the highest level player alive on the Earth Server."
On December 21, 2015, a Falcon 9 first stage booster launched a payload to orbit, then turned around, flew back to Cape Canaveral, and landed upright on Landing Zone 1.
No one had ever done this before. The entire aerospace industry had said it was physically impossible or economically pointless.
Musk proved them wrong by applying first-principles thinking (Step 4) — the same approach he'd used since childhood.
If physics doesn't prevent it, it can be done. The question is just engineering.
Reusable rockets cut the cost of space access dramatically. It was the single most important advancement in rocketry in decades, and it happened because a bullied kid from Pretoria never stopped believing the universe was a game worth winning.
