Singapore Distance Running in 2015

There are a few bright spots and good results in the news for Singapore Running ! A 41 years old record was broken for the mens 10,000 m in June, 2014, Soh Rui Yong ran 31min15.95sec in Oregon, USA. He ran his maiden marathon in the US in 2hr26min01sec on the 7 Dec 2014 at the California International Marathon, the second fastest time ever by a Singaporean.

Mok Yin Ren is another elite Singapore runner, he just arrived in the Boulder, Colorado, USA, a few days ago to train with Lee Troop, a Australian Olympian. Has is the SEA Games 2013 marathon gold medallist(2hr28min36sec), his personal best is 2hr26min30sec.

Then there is Ashley Liew, who is also studying in the, US, who ran 2hr32min12sec in the New Orlean Rock and Roll Marathon on 25 Jan 2015.

There are quite a few others who can run below 3 hours, Lim Thow Wee(2hr48min49sec), Fang JianYong(2hr38min40sec), Ning Wenlong(2hr53min57sec), just to name a few.

Hopefully, with the SEA Games in Singapore, more Singapore athletes will be inspired to break more national running records.

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!
