Elon Musk is obsessed with space. At age 30, he founded SpaceX. At age 41, he oversaw the first cargo mission to the International Space Station by a private company. And at age 12, as a kid living in South Africa, he made a space-themed PC game called Blastar. Now, thanks to the power of the internet, you can play that game.

Musk sold the code for Blastar for $500 to the magazine PC and Office Technology, and a reproduction of the page it appeared on was published in Ashlee Vance's biography Elon Musk: Tesla, SpaceX, and the Quest for a Fantastic Future. From there, Tomas Lloret Llinares - a software engineer at Google - took the code and rebuilt the game to work in HTML5.

Your mission, as the game's lonely space pilot, is to "destroy [the] alien freighter carrying deadly hydrogen bombs and status beam machines." Blastar is mostly a mix of Space Invaders and Asteroid, though it's much more basic. There is never more than two ships on the screen, there are few sound effects, and - like many games of its time - it really has no ending. It's almost unimpressive; that is, until you remember that it was made by a 12-year-old in 1984.

“There have to be reasons that you get up in the morning and you want to live. Why do you want to live? What’s the point? What inspires you? What do you love about the future? If the future does not include being out there among the stars and being a multi-planet species, I find that incredibly depressing.”

Pretoria is an interesting place. on the official SAHO page for Pretoria it says;

The city of Pretoria is 60 km from Johannesburg, 478 km from Bloemfontein and 1 500 km from Cape Town. It spreads out in the valleys that are made by the eastern part of the Magaliesberg Mountain range, where the Apies River flows and the climate is perfect for flowers and trees. In the 1870s Pretoria was known as the “City of Roses”, but after Mr. J. D. Cilliers bought some Jacaranda trees from Rio de Janeiro for his garden in 1888, the city decided to plant 50 000 of these trees and Pretoria became the “Jacaranda City”. Pretoria hosts many events such as the PARK ACOUSTICS event, a music event.
