18.02 km run on 18 Nov 2014 Tuesday

It rained all day on Tuesday, till about late in the afternoon when the sun finally emerged from behind the cloud. Decided to go for a run at Bishan Park at about 5:20 pm, had no concrete target in mind, just hoping to run around 12-15km.

Started slow from home to the park which is about 2.5 km away, the loop at the park is about 3.3 km. Just run easy at about 6:15 - 6:20 pace for about 4-5km, after which the pace picked up and I ran mostly below 6 min pace for the rest of the way.

Not a very smooth run, as I could feel a little strain in the thigh and calf muscle. Stride felt ok, but just not as smooth and effortless as I hope for. But, after Sunday's 30km run, I feel much more confident of completing long run I set out to do, as I know that I can complete these comfortably if I run at the correct pace. In the end, I covered 18.02 km in 1hr50min1ssec, averaging 6:06 per km.

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!
