The model rocket problem: you build a rocket and launch it, it works. You transition from compressed air bottle rockets to class-E solid-rocket motors. You start thinking about liquid fueled systems. Your rockets get more and more dangerous but staying where you are is known and boring.
The same applies everywhere: your boat isn't fast enough, your computer game isn't intense enough, climbing vertical rock faces isn't extreme enough, a 48 hour fast isn't long enough.
A few days back I built a skateboard with off-road tires equipped with a windsurfer sail. It was fun learning to ride it, but now the only think left is to go faster - and that scares me.
