Comment on 60 Minutes: Elon Musk and SpaceX [video]parent

Comments

Same here... when people ask "where will the next Steve Jobs come from" - my attitude he's already amongst us, and his goals are loftier and perhaps more socially pragmatic.

Keep in mind the man wants see Mars in his lifetime, taken in that perspective learning rocket science is a pretty small feat. Creating SpaceX is the first step to that goal, and leaving anything on the table - ie. just being a CEO/leader, and not being able to work hand-in-hand with the engineers/scientists he has under employ is a risk.

To me, the key takeaway is if you want something bad enough the seemingly difficult becomes doable.
