The Infinite World

 I am hoping to cross 2000 km mark for the whole year of 2026. This is about 5.48km per day to run. Hopefully I can achieved this target this year and do a sub 5 hours for the scsm 2026 marathon on the first Sunday of 2026

How accurate were human in keeping time before the atomic clock, which came into existence in 1955! If there were a 10 percent off in time keeping, then human could be only in the 1800s now, if their forefathers counting was too slow or human could be in the 2200s if they count was too fast! How reliable were their forefathers time keeping skills ?  Last but not least, there were many inaccuracies in many areas in the past due to unreliable technology in the olden days!

 SpaceX continues to lead the world in space launches, 165 Falcon 9 launches! This record would likely be broken in 2026 and hopefully SpaceX Starship can achieve a satellite launch as well in 2026!

It’s time to start a space recycle station, to pick up the used satellites, expanded rockets or any metal pieces that can be found floating around Earth. With the launch of satellites constellation such as Starlink, it would be great to recycle such metal objects rather than let it burn up on reentry into Earth atmosphere.  Along it can be a factory to build new satellite or spacecraft in orbit. It’s time to really reuse such materials in space rather then the current practice of launching new spacecraft from earth and let the old machines to burn up on reentry. Of course, there are logistical task to complete before the recycling can start to take place. To begin with a sizeable spacecraft would be needed to perform such a task and a permanent crew would be needed.

At 3.42am, 7 Dec 2025 Sunday, I took a grab ride to Suntec city to join the SCSM 2025 marathon. I arrived just in time to deposit my bag at the F1 pit, entered my start pen E at 4.31am. As usual, the elite runners started at the front at 4.20am. It looks to me like a huge crowd and spirit was high and weather was good, cooling in the early morning. Pen E managed to start the race at 4.50am.  The start was the usual route towards the beach road golden mile area then towards the merdeka bridge towards national stadium. I just run along my usual slow run with the pack, tried my best to snaked my way when those in front are really slow. It got to a point where I was trying to run faster and faster when the body feels good. But, I always tell myself that it’s going to be a long way and never allowed myself to go below 6.30 pace. I reached the 10 km mark around the OUE Bayfront, it was around 1hour 5 min plus. It was not too bad as I was struggling to hit such time during my training run...

SpaceX has successfully launched 130 times up to 16 Oct 2025, excluding Starship test flights. It looks like another record breaking year for SpaceX, they are leading the world by a huge margin.
