The Infinite World

Saw the landing of Falcon 9 on the barge, the main issue is clearly the decelation was too fast too late and the engine control burn. They need to reduce the speed of rocket coming down a little more and I guess the main engine is too powerful to control it like on a fighter jet vector trust engine. If the control of the engine is better, I guess it should work. I think the flow of the fuel to the engine can be slower to reduce the thrust of the engine thus reducing the speed of the rocket coming down. I hope the deceleration of the engine start at least 10 seconds earlier to allow more time to reduce the speed further. Another way is to build at least 4 robotic arms that have elongated curve surface that extend up to the rocket when it's about 1 metre from the landing pad that can at least prevent it from toppling over.

Started my run at 7.09am this morning at the stadium. Initial plan was to run at a constant speed of around close to 2 min per 400m lap for 25 laps. I completed the 1st lap in 2:09, 2nd lap in 2.10 and I was feeling I was running quite fast. At this point I figure out that there was no way I can run close to 2min lap for 10km, I set myself a new target of 2.06 to 2.09 per lap. I ran the 6th lap in 2.06 and the 7th in 2.08 and I was already feeling tired. Eventually I ran my 9th lap in 2.05 and decided to end with 10th lap which I did in 1.47. My body was just all messed up and fitness is just not there. After a short rest, I decided to run a 1 lap and clocked 1.37. Called it a day and went back home. Need to run more, my mileage is too low right now. Got to keep pushing myself to improve this year !

Scientist think that there is a ninth planet out beyond Pluto which was down graded to a dwarf planet, based on their recent findings. Anything is possible because our knowledge is so limited right now. We rather spent time guarding against each other and killing our fellow humans. Things are out there waiting to be discovered, they have been there far longer than us, so it's a matter of time before we get to know them. Imagine what we can do if we channel our time and resources to expanding our knowledge instead on defences against our own kind. Well, we will get to our ninth planet soon!

Our mind is very powerful, so much more powerful than anyone can imagine. So when the mind is contaminated, it can become scary. Just like what is happening around the world, those who turn "bad" make this world a miserable place to live in. They are so self centre and seems like nothing can change them. They are so powerful that they can make so many people obey their order. And it seems like there are so many of them out there trying to create trouble every where. How to change the mind set of all these people ? I think it has to start with education from young, and parents and teachers should set a good example. And we must start a subject call thinking class, teaching each child to think in a positive way. Human is ultimately a complicated living things that are easily influence and cannot think logically. Our so called rational ways do not apply to every individual, so no matter how we perfect our teaching, there will be exceptional cases. Life is after all not pred...
