Learning from a bad run

Running a bad race can be quite a good experience, it makes you realise things can go wrong anytime and most importantly to take note of your weaknesses. For myself , I run too little distance and I have weak core area. I have been telling myself to build up my core muscle group but I never really put in much effort to actually do it. From my experience during my 21 km run on the 15 Feb 2014, I wanted to run faster the last 3km but though I kept telling myself to push on, my body was so exhausted. It was a really a battle of the mind over body, but my mind looses the fight. The little consolation is that  I learn how to keep telling mind to take action his time round. Previously, I would have just stop running and just walk. I think as long as you learn something out of the lousy run, it's still a good run in the sense that you learned your lesson.

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.

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!
