Running Speed of the Elite Runner

The London Marathon winning time was 2hr6min3sec, speed was 20.08km per hour. Just how fast is this suppose to be, I guess for the majority of us who are really into running, you would find it difficult to comprehend. This would translate into 17.58 times of our our regular Army 2.4km run at 7min 9sec each without taking a break! Almost 99 percent of us would not be able to do it even for just once in our life time! Incredibly fast time ! Although I would never be able to achieve such timing, the joy in running is the feeling of accomplishment when you hit a certain milestone or target, and you continue to set new benchmark for ourselves. Keep running !

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.

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!

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