Extreme Difficulty: Elon Musk's Mission to Make Rockets Reusable on Earth

Elon Musk: If making reusable rockets was a video game, the setting is set to extreme difficulty.

“Earth's gravity is actually quite strong, and we have a thick atmosphere. So, with known physics, it's only barely possible to make a fully reusable orbital rocket. Only barely possible.

If this was a video game, the setting is set to extreme difficulty. Not impossible, but extreme difficulty.”
