Run on 21 Jul 2012 at East Coast

Start run at 6.41 am from Ford road car park, we decided to do a longer run today. Was a little slow to warm up today, did not have a good start to the day. Woke up a little late at 5.31 am and had to rush to meet my buddy at 6.15 am. Started slow, running around 6-6.10 per km pace for the first 3km. Picked up a little during the next few km, was running about 6min per km by the 7 km or so. Did not feel good at about 8.8 km, stomach discomfort until about 12 plus km. Tried to maintain about slightly below 6/km until about 18.7km, could not hang on anymore, ask my buddy to go ahead. Decided to consume a pack of gel and has another water break at the toilet. From them on, just tried to maintain a slow pace and run/walk till 22.5 km. From then on decided to just hang on and run all the way till the end. Accelerated from 6 to about 5.30/km towards the end. Total distance covered 24.26 km in 2 hr 31min 42sec. I think the bad run today is due to my not clearing my not having clearing my bowel completely before the run. Good lesson learnt, should not repeat this again.

SpaceX Starship first touchdown

SpaceX Starship 3rd ITF is likely in later part of March 2024, looking forward to the first successful touchdown of the both booster and Starship !  Controlling the engine sufficiently would be critical to achieving the landing either on land or at sea based platform.  Looking to see the first payload by the 5 or 6th launch. If the 3rd test can see the Starship coming back for a controlled landing, then progress should be fast. Should see at least 4 to 5 Starship flights or test in 2024.

Human need to move away from combustion engine

With the current technology, it’s difficult for human to think about moving away from combustion engine. It’s the only way they can think of that will generate sustainable energy to travel over distances! Generating sustainable energy without burning too much fuel is always the issue with transportation over significant distances! Or perhaps the fuel source is the issue with human travel!

SpaceX Starship 4th IFT 6 June 2024

SpaceX is targeting to launch the 4th IFT of Starship today 6 June 2024 at 8.50 am ET.

The test just completed, both the Superheavy and Starship made it back in 1 piece, what an amazing feats!
