Isn't the first step in reaching for a goal to announce it so people will hold you to it?
I feel that saying, "So far I've seen him put a rocket in orbit and land it again" is along the lines of when you come up with an invention called the potato peeler and everyone says, "But isn't that just a dull knife?".
People constantly downplay new ideas, they're only recognizing the similarity and not the genius the slight alteration an existing invention offered them.
On a positive note, Elon Musk has somewhat of a track record for executing on his dreams/goals and making it happen. :)
