Upcoming JP Morgan Corporate Challenge 5.6km

Last year I managed a time of 28min13sec for the 5.6km run. Hopefully, I can run a better time this year, any time below 27min would be satisfying, as I am not in the best shape. My plan is to slowly warm up along the way, maybe starting at 5:45 pace and accelerating to 5:15 pace by the 1st km. I want to finishing strong at the end, so hopefully I can maintain about 5:10 or less till the 2nd km. From the 2km onwards, try to maintain about 5:05 or slightly faster till 3.5 km. If I have sufficient strenght, I would slowly increase my pace to 4:45 by 4.6 km. For the last km, try to accelerate to 4:30 till 5.25km then sprint the last 0.25 km reaching perhaps 4:10 pace or faster. Based on this estimation, I should finish in about 27 to 27min15sec.

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!
