14 Km run on 25 July 2015

Reached the stadium at 5:58am this morning, initial plan was to start running at 5:30am and run for 2 hours. Anyway, started to run and it was cooling in the early morning. The problem is that I always mis-judge the pace when I run when the sky is dark, my first lap was 2min40sec, way too slow. It took me a while to slowly warm up, in fact, the first 4 laps(400m each) were all completed over 2min30sec each. It was just difficult to run fast early in the morning, ran the 5th to 8th lap all around 2min29sec per lap. Ran the 9th lap in 2min28sec and the 10th lap in 2min25sec. My plan to run 50 laps of 2min24sec each vanished. The next 10laps was completed between 2min20sec to 2min27sec. I wanted to run in an environment where I can ignore if there was any rough uneven ground that I might trip over or looking out for vehicular traffics or concern of hard surface which might cause injury. This is why I choose to run in a stadium sometimes. The next 10 laps were ran a little faster as the sky started to brighten up, from 2min10sec to 2min 21sec. Eventually, I completed  total of 35laps in 1hour22min9sec. The 34th lap completed in 2min3sec and the last lap in 1min42sec. Fell short of my plan to run 50 laps, but I still achieved a personal record of the most laps even ran in a stadium.

Relax ! Humans are not going anywhere far !!

Yes, with their current state of technology, humans are not going anywhere far and still survive to see the future. 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!
