Newton Run 32 km

Completed the Newton 32 km run this morning in 3 hours 48 min 52 secs.  Started out the 1st km in 6:34 and picked up speed to 6:12, 6:02, 6:15, 6:02, 6:06, 6:08, 6:08, 5:55, 6:00, finished 10km 1:01:25. Slowed in the 2nd 10 km to about 1 hour 5 min and finished 22km in 2 hour 22 min. The slow down was expected as my training has been up to about 20km only. Muscle cramps started about  23 km returning from East Coast going into Marina East, had to stop and stretched the thigh muscle a number of times. Completed the last 10 km in 1 hour 28min plus, full muscle cramp near the last 100m of the run. Clearly, a lack of mileage clocked ! Luckily the weather was kind, could have been an even less ideal condition. Wondering how to tackle 42.195 km on 4 Dec 2016!

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!
