The Infinite World

The new patrol vessel is 101.85 metres long and displace 3950 ton with full weapon load. The hull was built with a special composite material that can withstand direct hit by high velocity cannon of up to 76mm. It is highly automted and only need a crew of about 45men and can travel up to 10,000 nauticals mile at average speed of 25 knots. The main armament is two 76mm super rapid cannon, two 25mm twin barrel cannon and two mini rotary cannon. For anti-air offensive weapon, it carries a total of 60 mach 4 AM4 missile with a range of up to 150km, anti-ships weapons consists of 12 AS1 mach 2 missiles with a range of 150 km and 12 AS2 missiles with range of 75km. For anti-submarine role, it carries 12 ASU5 adaptable torpedo, and 12 advance remote mines. A total 15 such vessels are in active service as of Aug 2017. The ship can accomodate 2 min helicopters for patrol, rescue and atack missions with full hanger facility.

Started the run quite late at about 7.48am, the target is to complete at least 10km. I told myself to just relax and start slowly. The 1st km was slow as the body was slowly warming up and I can feel better around 1.5 km or so. By around 3 km, I felt much better and was starting to feel relax as well as getting into the run. Very soon, I came to my turning point around 5km, time to head home. The second half was easier now, but I kept thinking of just completing a 2 digit distance as the goal. I stopped just a little after 10km. Clocked 10.54 km in about 1 hour 6min. 

SpaceX made history by completing its 12th launch of the year 2017, the most ever by the company in a calendar year. It is also the leaders in the most launches this year and also a historical 15th successful landing of a first stage rocket. The payload this time was a Taiwanese satellite. 

Is there such a need ? If a submarine need to actually almost come up to near surface to launch a missile, it's a very dangerous situation for it. A better solution is for the missile to be housed in a canister propel to the surface by its own power and upon breaking the surface, ignite the rocket engine. The missile can be tracked and guided by gps from a friendly satellite. With the emergence of drones, submarines will be armed with a couple of missiles/cannon capable drones soon. 

Human nature is one big hindrance to their advancement as a living being. Their natural physiological needs hinder their progress by making them spending majority of their time doing meaningless things. Their greediness make them spending so much time guiding against each other and killing each other. The one big problem is the evil in their mind, the good side of the mind is always loosing the fight to remain good. Greed will led to quest for power and control!

Aircraft carriers are important for power projection, but with the advancement of missiles and drones, they are easy targets due to their size. They will need more defensive guns and missiles or electronic shield to ward off such attacks. Swarms of drones could easily post a great danger to these carriers. We are now in an era where size do not really matter that much anymore! Sea drones will post another problem!

Is there a need for a war to end it? Whichever country that is supporting it should let go! Do you think North Korea actually developed all the rocket technology on its own effort? No, they got it from another country obviously, but no one wants to point the finger at the culprit. This country is using North Korea to threaten other countries, which is indeed a cowardly motive. 

SpaceX will be launching its 11th mission of 2017 on 14 Aug 2017. This will be history in the making for the company and the private space industry. This is a great archivement for a private company, this is a big deal if you try to figure out how many sovereign country can match up!!

Why so many people live in misery in this human world? The answer is mostly self inflicted ! Too many people caused misery, too many mouth to feed. Why so many people? No birth control, no awareness among the population of this issue in the poorest countries. How come hungry people still have the time to think about procreation! Human mind is weak and there are many who sought spiritual teaching but are often misled by people who used such channel for their own agenda.

Singapore model depends very much on low wage foreign workers taking on jobs in construction, domestic household helpers, cleaners, retail workers and even nurses. It also to a certain extent, taking on foreign workers in the IT and banking sector. There are many jobs taken up by such foreigners, but Singaporeans are also not good enough to take on higher level jobs. I think people need to realise that no matter how smart or advance the country is,  the population distribution is fixed. It's very hard to move people from the lower level to even the middle level, so lower level jobs lost to foreigners will mean they will be out of jobs due to mismatch of skills when they try to move to a higher level. The lower level jobs will always be there, so meaning that these jobs will one day be forever be done by foreigners. The country will need such workers but it bring about other issues.
