If you want to talk about humanity’s limitations—about
what we can’t imagine, can’t create, can’t
solve—don’t call Ky Michaelson. He won’t
understand what you’re saying. Michaelson doesn’t
trade in impossibility. If that word has any meaning at
all to the Minnesota-born inventor and rocketeer, it simply
indicates something that hasn’t been done yet. And
doing what hasn’t been done is a Michaelson specialty.
How else could a man set dozens of national and international
speed records, create mind-blowing stunts that changed the
look of Hollywood films, and lead the first private team
of rocketeers to send a rocket into space?
Dar Robinson, one of the most revered stuntmen of the 20th
Century, called Michaelson an “imagineer.” Rather
than start with physical rules and limits and what others
have done before, Michaelson begins with the goal, then
builds in his mind the machine required to achieve it. Sure,
he relies on science. It’s been his passion since
grade school. But while most scientists will delve into
the literature, Michaelson came to school at a disadvantage.
