When I started thinking about my forever project, http://automicrofarm.com http://automicrofarm.com, it certainly seemed almost impossible. But as I started implementing a subset of it, it got less and less impossible, and now is even feasible enough that we've got a product (vs. a proof-of-concept) prototype (of the subset, not the grand vision). I think the author is spot-on with the speed-of-light analogy, but missing an insight: you can declare a huge victory if you attain 90% (or 99%, or 50%) of your goal.
