The Infinite World

 SpaceX continues to lead the world in space launches, 165 Falcon 9 launches! This record would likely be broken in 2026 and hopefully SpaceX Starship can achieve a satellite launch as well in 2026!

It’s time to start a space recycle station, to pick up the used satellites, expanded rockets or any metal pieces that can be found floating around Earth. With the launch of satellites constellation such as Starlink, it would be great to recycle such metal objects rather than let it burn up on reentry into Earth atmosphere.  Along it can be a factory to build new satellite or spacecraft in orbit. It’s time to really reuse such materials in space rather then the current practice of launching new spacecraft from earth and let the old machines to burn up on reentry. Of course, there are logistical task to complete before the recycling can start to take place. To begin with a sizeable spacecraft would be needed to perform such a task and a permanent crew would be needed.

At 3.42am, 7 Dec 2025 Sunday, I took a grab ride to Suntec city to join the SCSM 2025 marathon. I arrived just in time to deposit my bag at the F1 pit, entered my start pen E at 4.31am. As usual, the elite runners started at the front at 4.20am. It looks to me like a huge crowd and spirit was high and weather was good, cooling in the early morning. Pen E managed to start the race at 4.50am.  The start was the usual route towards the beach road golden mile area then towards the merdeka bridge towards national stadium. I just run along my usual slow run with the pack, tried my best to snaked my way when those in front are really slow. It got to a point where I was trying to run faster and faster when the body feels good. But, I always tell myself that it’s going to be a long way and never allowed myself to go below 6.30 pace. I reached the 10 km mark around the OUE Bayfront, it was around 1hour 5 min plus. It was not too bad as I was struggling to hit such time during my training run...
