072 Robert "Kilo" Morgan: Designing Virgin Galactic Spacecraft, Finding Inspiration, And Going To Burning Man
My guest is Robert "Kilo" Morgan, who designed over 33 cutting-edge prototype flight vehicles, including the Virgin Galactic reusable spaceships.
We had a fascinating conversation about a wide variety of topics, including:
- The power of getting comfortable with pain
- Psychedelics and the "school of hyper-reality"
- Using humor to relieve stress and break down barriers
- How to build a team that successfully pushes the envelope
- How to walk up to the edge of the creativity cliff
- Using risk to live a rewarding life
- Using the right mental models to design aircraft
- Extending the range of your comfort zone
- The power of art at Burning Man
- Random acts of kindness at Burning Man
