10km run on the morning of 3 July 2015

Started my run at the stadium at 7.09am Singapore Time. Initially my plan was to run close to 2min per 400m lap and try to achieve a new PB for 10km or 25laps(pb 50min21sec). Usually, I do not do any stretching or warm up, except the short run from my house to the stadium, about 400 m or so. So today, as usual I found the early laps were difficult, extremely slow moving, averaging about 2min6sec per lap. Unfortunately, it did not get any easier or faster with lap, I kept averaging about 2min7sec lap. Around 7.40am, the sun was up and the temperature started rising, I just kept the laps going. I only start to speed up at the 23rd lap, 2min3sec, 24th lap 1min59sec and last lap 1min39sec. The final timing 52min15sec. Well, with every run, I learnt something, I am comfortable going around 2min7sec for 20 laps. So maybe next run, I can start 15min earlier and do better warm up and try to average 2min5sec for the first 20laps and try again for the PB.

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!

SpaceX Starship 4th IFT 6 June 2024

SpaceX is targeting to launch the 4th IFT of Starship today 6 June 2024 at 8.50 am ET. We hope to see the first stage reach a soft landing or splash down in the Gulf of Mexico and the Starship simulate a landing in the Indian Ocean if everything goes according to plan. The test just completed, both the Superheavy and Starship made it back in 1 piece, what an amazing feats!
