8km run on 21 Jun 2014 Saturday

Completed 20 laps this morning at the stadium 8km, in 43min28sec. Initially, I was ambitious and was planning to break my pb of 51min35sec for the 10km. I completed the 1st lap in 2min6sec, feeling good, not a sweat. 2nd lap 2min9sec, 3nd lap 2min10, I tried to speed up a little for the 4lap, 2min7, I was still positive that I can run a good time. 5th lap, 2min7, 6th lap, 2min7, 7th lap slip abit 2min9.5, 8th lap 2min10, the sun is up now and getting hot. 9th lap 2min12, 10th lap 2min9.8, 11th lap 2min11sec, I see the record attempt fading away. 12th lap 2min12.2, 13th lap 2min10.2, 14th lap 2min12.4. 15th lap 2min15.2, 16th 2min15.7, 17th lap 2min16.8, 18th lap 2min19.6, I just relax and run, as I knew I am not fit enough and the heat is just too much. 19th lap 2min17.7, decided at this point to just run 1 more lap, finished off the lap in 1min46.5. My fitness level is just bad, need to push myself more to overcome the mental barrier. Sometimes, we just need our brain to tell the body to push on and overcome the invisible barrier that is stopping us to achieve a better timing. I will attempt the run again maybe tomorrow morning! The main factor for today's bad run is the sun, the heat overcame my determination to run a good time!

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!
