5.6km run on 11 July 2014 Friday

Started my run at the stadium at 10.03 am, always start with ambitious goal. Wanted to run 2:04 for 25laps, but just after the 1st lap of 2:10, I know I am still  not in shape to achieve what I set out to do. 2nd lap was ran in 2:12, 3rd lap was a little faster at2:09.942. Feeling apprehensive, 4th lap covered in 2:12.699, 5th lap in 2:11.853, 6th lap in 2:12.740. I can see that I am not getting any faster with each lap. 7th lap was covered in 2:12.360, 8th lap in 2:11.527, I kept trying to go faster but 9th lap was only slightly faster at 2:10.915, 10th lap was covered in 2:11.991. The sun was in and out, but mentally, I kept thinking the heat will slow me down. The 11th lap was covered in 2:13.952, 12th lap in 2:11.549. I made my mind by the 13th lap to run just 1 more lap, so I got quicker for the 13th lap in 2:06.453 and the final lap was covered in 1:37.992. I think my mental state was so much affected by the sun and the heat, that I kept telling myself that I could not run much faster. Total distance 5.6 km in 30min06sec.

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!

The test just completed, both the Superheavy and Starship made it back in 1 piece, what an amazing feats!
