20 km run at East Coast Park 24 March 2013

Start the run at 6.11 am, started very slowly, 1st km covered in 6min11sec. First 20km run since 3 Feb 2013, feeling rather apprehensive about how the run will progress. Reached 2 km in 12min25sec, time for the km in 6min7sec. Covered the 3rd km in about the same time, 6min8sec. It was a very casual 1st 10 km,  time was about 1 hr 1min 12sec. Start to speed up a little and covers the next lm in 5min40sec, followed by the next km in 5min39sec. At this 12 km mark, I was feeling just fine, but just did not run fast enough. The 12-13km was covered in 5min34sec, followed by the next km in 5min30sec, which will be my fastest km so far. Did try to push a little bit more but the lack of training start to be evidence, just could get any faster. Covered the 14-15 km in 5min43sec, just tried to not ow down by too much, covering the next km in 5min 48sec. By the 17km, body temperature was getting a little too high, so had to take water break to lower the body temperature. As a result of the water break, the 17-18km was covered in more than 6min. I know the end was need but just could not get much faster
and eventually finished the run in 1hr56min57sec.

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. We hope to see the first stage reach a soft landing or splash down in the Gulf of Mexico and the Starship simulate a landing in the Indian Ocean if everything goes according to plan. The test just completed, both the Superheavy and Starship made it back in 1 piece, what an amazing feats!
