SpaceX 26th Launch in 2022

There is still 9 days left in June 2022, and SpaceX has already completed 26 launches to orbit, although a majority of them are Starlink launches. 

Not many are aware that this is a very impressive and unprecedented achievement even by a superpower standard, not least a private company. Even NASA at its peak could not have achieved such a feat with the rest of the industry!

More impressive is the fact that SpaceX has more than a hundred reuse of its first stage rockets. The most re-flight of a block 5 first stage is 13th times, no other companies or countries have ever gotten up to orbit and back even once with a real payload.

Without the governing bodies, SpaceX could have achieved much more. They are like trying to restrain a horse trying to gallop away from a bunch of tortoises. 

The industry as a whole seemed to have been totally left behind in the technology chase!

Earth has no Alternative to Combustion Energy

The current gulf war highlighted the human dependence on combustion for energy! Human only knows how to burn and burn, to acquire the energy they needed. If they spent the resources on weapons to energy research, it could produce some form of portable alternative energy sources.  But, humans, being weary of other humans, would never let their guts down! They distrust their own kind so much, that they would go to the extent of mutually destroying each other! The normal human on the street are not to be blamed, it’s the smart leaders that created this mistrust of each other, thinking too much! If all human were to help each other with a kind heart, the world would be a peaceful place. There is no solution for this mistrust, human are trapped in a vicious cycle due to the devil in them that surfaces constantly when it comes to decision time for important agendas.

Accuracy in Time Keeping in the past

How accurate were human in keeping time before the atomic clock, which came into existence in 1955! If there were a 10 percent off in time keeping, then human could be only in the 1800s now, if their forefathers counting was too slow or human could be in the 2200s if they count was too fast! How reliable were their forefathers time keeping skills ?  Last but not least, there were many inaccuracies in many areas in the past due to unreliable technology in the olden days!
