Human scheduled activities

Human has a habit of doing things according to a schedule and everyone come together at the same time causing problems such as traffic jam, congestion, long queues, stampede and others. When you look at all these problems, what strike you as obvious? 

Human Self Inflicted Problems

Why the human world seems to be troubled constantly? Who is responsible for creating all these pain for humans? The Answer is human, for all non natural occurring disaster. The origin is always our "mind", the most powerful and almost out of the body part of the human. It is the mind that direct you to do what you do, so it's important for human to take control of the mind! Human instinct is to provide for themselves to survive, they do what it takes to survive. They are selfish and do not care even after realising the harm they are causing to others. Actions will be taken when it threaten their well being. Human need to learn to understand and work to build a relationship with each other, among countries , to dispel hostility among them. It take up so much of their resources and time, just trying to fight each other. 

How to extend our mental capability

Can human transmit signal or message using our brain wave ?Is this the way to communicate with the unknown and beyond ? Many people would sincerely want to believe that human can go beyond what they can do. There are so many small little things they do that do not make sense. Human need to think unselfishly, beyond personal gain and needs, to achieve greater things. It is very difficult for human to think and act unselfishly, they tend  to want all things to themselves. They have the capacity but not the preserverance to actually do a lot of good acts for the good of all. Human will need to train their their children to think and put a framework around education in school to incorporate Thinking class into the cirriculum. They need to guide their mind and try their best to prevent it from picking up the bad thinking. The mind is all powerful but barely reach even their minimum capacity for most people. 

Space X 3rd Launch of 2016 and Successful Drone Ship Landing

SpaceX succeeded in its attempt to land on a drone ship, Of Course I Still Love you in the Atlantic Ocean. The mission carried a Dragon spacecraft on a resupply mission to the ISS and also a experimental inflatable module built by Bigelow Aerospace. The landing of the First stage is the 1st after 4 failed attempt, this is unprecedented as its technically difficult to land on a platform just slightly larger than a basketball court. The next Space X lannch is in mid April, if it launch before April 21, it would have set a new shortest turnaround record for the company.

Drones will bring problems

What you see in science friction movie will become reality, drones chasing people down or creating havoc. Laws will not stop them, and these being use by the wrong people will cause headache to the common people and countries. 

Space X next flight

Space X will be launching its next mission in 9 days and will be carrying a experimental inflatable module by Bigelow Space company to be attached to the ISS. We need a boost to earth space program which has been slow moving, due to human more urgent fighting against each other. Space X is the only bright spot that would change the dynamics in space exploration. If it's achieve anything more than 9 flights this year, it would be a break through for human kind. Remember it's a private company!

Should human control population growth

Yes, if you want a quality population, whereby each individual is being educated to a certain level in order to achieve their full potential. Basically, all humans'  problems are self inflicted! Humans need to fully understand their own problems, otherwise it will always be a vicious circle that go round and round. One problem will lead to another before the initiate one can be resolved! But it's easier said than done, even the most educated of the human kind cannot overcome their own emotional issues! The human kind is a primitive race after all, they will probably fight on for another thousand years! They might even destroy each other before they resolve their own issues!

Humans Need to Put Aside Differences

Humans need to put aside their differences in order to progress meaningfully going forward. 34 lives were taken on 22 Mar 2016, in Brussels, Belgium in a bomb explosion. Too much effort being spent to guard against each other, why did human end up in such a pathetic state! 

13.67 km run on 18 Mar 2016 Saturday

Started the run at 8 am on Saturday morning, started slow as usual, has been finding it hard to motivate myself to run well lately. First time running more than 13 km this, 13.67km in 1hr 26min 12sec. It was a slow and easy run just to clocked up some mileage.

Year 2026

What will it be like in 2026 ? Will earth be able to launch 200 space flights a year ? Has human depleted all known petroleum source ? Are human beings still killing each other ? Well hopefully by then we already know more about the human mind, and learn to live together at peace and start our journey to really explore beyond Earth. It's a huge expanse of unknown out there waiting for us to discover! Stop fighting your own kind and be a real space explorer!

Is trying to out do each other a good thing ?

In the current human world, everyone is trying to out do each other, so that we can earn more money. Money can buy you all the material things that you ever crave for ! But, is the a good thing for the human race ? On the material side of things, it's just human nature to be greedy which is the breeding ground for a lot of evil deeds of human. 

2nd launch of SpaceX Falcon 9 in 2016

SpaceX successfully completed its second mission of the year and place a SES satellite on its way to a GTO orbit above Southeast Asia. The landing of the stage one ended up in failure as advised before the mission. This is the 22nd mission for Falcon 9, with its nine Merlin engines. This is a unprecedented feat before SpaceX did it 2007 with Falcon 1, but nowadays it goes unnoticed sometimes that this is a privately funded company with a staff strength of maybe 5,500. It's continue success will take human beyond agencies based space programmes which used up so much tax payer money! It's already putting many agencies scratching their head for a face saving solution probably! Let's look forward to a successful landing of the stage 1 on the drone ship in the next mission! 

Putting a Bigger Space Station into orbit

Human need to create a more robust and bigger permanent facility in space. It would be good if it can be further away, at least 10,000 km away from Earth. It must be built of material that can withstand random hits by small passing objects without killing all onboard. The facility should be able to be self contain for at least 10 person for one year and emergency escape transport to take them back to Earth at any time. Human must start treating near earth space as their own backyard, otherwise there is no way their space travelling capability will improve.

3.2km run at the stadium on 20 Feb 2016 Saturday

Ran 8 laps of 400m each at the stadium, total 3.2 km in 15min56sec. My initial plan was to try to run 24 laps of about 2min2sec for each lap and try to break my pb of 50min21sec for the 10km run. My fitness is far from ideal, so will have to try again another day. Slowest lap 2min5sec and fastest lap 1min48sec.

Private Space Venture

Recently, private space venture seems to generate more news than national space agencies. When such topics arises, the focus automatically falls on Space X ! And indeed it has been in the news, most recently on Jan 17, 2016 launching a satellite but failing to land on a barge in the ocean. It succeeded once on land in Dec 2015, becoming the 1st rocket to land its 1st stage after delivering a payload into orbit. Elon Musk is working to cut the launch cost by up to 40 percent by recovering the first stage of his rocket for reuse. It is indeed a remarkable achievement, all this done with private fund. Imagine what would have happen if he has the fund that some space agency has ? But then, he might not be that hungry for success if he has funding like those agencies. Imagine landing a 10 storey high rocket with the power it has, it's almost unimaginable! Space X is ramping up rocket production this year, next lunch is 2-3 weeks away and it will lunch a rocket every 2-3 weeks. If it la...

Falcon 9 Landing on Barge Jan 2016

Saw the landing of Falcon 9 on the barge, the main issue is clearly the decelation was too fast too late and the engine control burn. They need to reduce the speed of rocket coming down a little more and I guess the main engine is too powerful to control it like on a fighter jet vector trust engine. If the control of the engine is better, I guess it should work. I think the flow of the fuel to the engine can be slower to reduce the thrust of the engine thus reducing the speed of the rocket coming down. I hope the deceleration of the engine start at least 10 seconds earlier to allow more time to reduce the speed further. Another way is to build at least 4 robotic arms that have elongated curve surface that extend up to the rocket when it's about 1 metre from the landing pad that can at least prevent it from toppling over.

4km Run at the stadium 23 Jan 2016

Started my run at 7.09am this morning at the stadium. Initial plan was to run at a constant speed of around close to 2 min per 400m lap for 25 laps. I completed the 1st lap in 2:09, 2nd lap in 2.10 and I was feeling I was running quite fast. At this point I figure out that there was no way I can run close to 2min lap for 10km, I set myself a new target of 2.06 to 2.09 per lap. I ran the 6th lap in 2.06 and the 7th in 2.08 and I was already feeling tired. Eventually I ran my 9th lap in 2.05 and decided to end with 10th lap which I did in 1.47. My body was just all messed up and fitness is just not there. After a short rest, I decided to run a 1 lap and clocked 1.37. Called it a day and went back home. Need to run more, my mileage is too low right now. Got to keep pushing myself to improve this year !

A Ninth Planet in our Solar System

Scientist think that there is a ninth planet out beyond Pluto which was down graded to a dwarf planet, based on their recent findings. Anything is possible because our knowledge is so limited right now. We rather spent time guarding against each other and killing our fellow humans. Things are out there waiting to be discovered, they have been there far longer than us, so it's a matter of time before we get to know them. Imagine what we can do if we channel our time and resources to expanding our knowledge instead on defences against our own kind. Well, we will get to our ninth planet soon!

Overcoming the limitation of the mind

Our mind is very powerful, so much more powerful than anyone can imagine. So when the mind is contaminated, it can become scary. Just like what is happening around the world, those who turn "bad" make this world a miserable place to live in. They are so self centre and seems like nothing can change them. They are so powerful that they can make so many people obey their order. And it seems like there are so many of them out there trying to create trouble every where. How to change the mind set of all these people ? I think it has to start with education from young, and parents and teachers should set a good example. And we must start a subject call thinking class, teaching each child to think in a positive way. Human is ultimately a complicated living things that are easily influence and cannot think logically. Our so called rational ways do not apply to every individual, so no matter how we perfect our teaching, there will be exceptional cases. Life is after all not pred...

1st Run of Year 2016, 1st Jan

Completed my first run of the new year 2016 this morning, 5.2 km in 27min36.9sec, 13 laps at the Yio Chu Kang stadium. Ran 2 other individual laps separately, the 1st in 100.83sec and the 2nd in 91.88sec. Happy New Year to All who is reading this post! Hope all humans become united as one race, so that we can start exploring other worlds!
