25.62 km Run on 19 May 2013 Sunday

Started this run quite late on Sunday, 6.08 am at the East Coast Park. Started really slow, covered the 1st km in 6min42sec. The 2nd km was ran a little faster at 6min34sec. This is the 1st time we are running this slow, as the aim was to clock distance rather than doing a good time. It is definitely less demanding on the body running at this slow pace, but the problem is sticking closely to the pace. At the beginning you will find that it is indeed very slow (6.30. - 6.50) throughout almost the entire run. Initially, it's difficult to keep a constant slow pace but after maybe 15km or more, it's fine as your body starts to get tired. By about 20-21 km, I started to doubt if I still  can continue or will start walking. But, luckily, I could still find some strenght to run a little faster from the 22km onwards. Clocked 6:18, 6:08, 6:00 respectively for the last 3 km till 25km, and fiinished the last 0.62 km in about 3min. A good slow run, a good gauge for my  current overall fitness level. My own verdict, down 20% from my peak at end Jan 2013.

Relax ! Humans are not going anywhere far !!

Yes, with their current state of technology, humans are not going anywhere far and still survive to see the future. Anyone with technology surpassing humans would wonder why all the travelling and fighting and killing each other?? The earth is like a huge fishing tank view from space, so what is going on humans?? Human nature of greed and power will kill itself! Human nature is probably hard to change .....!!!!

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!
