17.22km run on 1 Aug 2014 Friday

Completed a slow long run of 17.22 km this morning in 1hr53min30sec, averaging 6:35 per km. The initial first few km was quite bad, felt very slow moving but did not dare to increase my speed. I wanted badly to do a long run today, so I just stick to a 6:30-6:45pace. I consumed a pack of gel before the run, as I sometimes felt weak without breakfast. Started to feel a little better after the 5km plus mark, seemed to have found my rhythm. I just tried my best to stick to this comfortable pace for as long as I can. Managed to covered 9.02km at the 1 hour mark, slow but not really bad. I want to make sure I cover at least 17km. At the 12.6plus km, I consumed another pack of gel and had a quick drink at one of the toilet at a small park along the route before resuming my run, took me about 33 secs. I managed to stick to a even pace till the end of the run. I started the run at about 7.25am, maybe I should start half an hour earlier for the next long run to avoid the heat from the morning sun. I think this is a good run for a start for my preparation for the Standard Chartered Singapore marathon on 7 Dec 2014. Need to do as many long run as possible and at least four 32-35km run.

Relax ! Humans are not going anywhere far !!

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!
