Genting Dream 26 Sep 2018

Genting Dream is the first ultra large cruise ship of Dream Cruise, part of the Genting Group.  This is the first time I went on board such a huge ship.

It is 335.33m or 1,100feet 2 Inches long with beam of 39.7m and weigh 150,695 gross ton. It was built in Germany, and made its maiden voyage on 4 Nov 2016. It can carry up to 3,352 passengers and 1,999 crew members.

There are many ships of such sizes nowadays, but you would most likely be impressed by their immense size and facilities on board. It is truly a floating city, only to be refuelled and maintain to keep going.

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.
