The Infinite World

SpaceX made history for the company by successfully completing its 9th launch of 2017, the most ever achieved in a single year. It deployed 10 Iridium Satellites into low earth orbit, the 2nd launch of a planned total of 8th launches. This is also the shortest time between 2 SpaceX launches and it set the pace for a quick turnaround for the company. If everything goes according to plan, there could be up to 18 launches by the end of the year. By the way, this is also the 13th successful stage 1 landings and 8th successful landings on a drone ship.

SpaceX just completed the 8th launch of 2017, sending Bulgariasat 1 communication satellite to a geostationery orbit. This equalled its most launches in 1 year, so the next mission will be a record breaking 9 launches in a year for the company. The next launch is scheduled for Sunday 25 June 2017.

Completed a 10km run at the nearby stadium, 25 laps of 400m in 56min 23sec. It was a slow run but I find it difficult to complete as my fitness is not good at all at the moment. My mind kept telling me how bad I feel and I had the urge to stop running. I was having a hard time trying to fight the against the urge to stop even before I reach 4 km, but eventually I managed to hold on till the end of the 25 laps. New lesson learnt, just focused on finishing to reach the target you set at the on set and try your best to dispel the negative thoughts and blocked out other distractions as well. Your body is able to tolerate the physical beating as long as its not rediculously difficult target. 10 -20 km should not be a problem if you run regularly.

When someone is angry and out of control, you would try to restrain them from hunting others or themselves. Actually, it's the mind that is out of control, the evil force has taken control and devil wants to create havoc. It's never getting any easier to control your mind, the devil is always there in your everyday life, trying hard to influence you to do something bad. There is no such thing as free will, you are not really free to do things you want to do, I mean good things. The devil is always there waiting for you and trying it's best to coerce you to do bad things. It's hard to stay good, just look at the chaotic earth!!

Can they find the mastermind who is creating all the havoc for the human race ? Yes it's your mind actually, they need to learn to tame it, otherwise there will be no peace! They need to have a strong will to fight the devil in their mind, it will be a constant fight, no letting up at all time. 

The evil side of the human mind is so powerful that it caused so much suffering for the human world since ancient history. When the evil side of the mind take control, anything can happen! Wars were and still is a evil doing of the mind. Faith is supposed to guide people in the right direction but history  has proven that such followers abused it for their own agenda.

I always think that it is not possible that one or a small group of supreme beings are controlling the human race. Then who is or are doing this job and they are not very good at it ! So much chaos all around because people are so self centred and are full of agendas behind their actions. It is getting worse and there seems to be no solution. 

Educating the brain!! Start from the schools by getting children to start thinking the right way.

Large carrier are so huge and it is complicated to build, why not drone carriers? Drones can withstand g forces better than a human pilot, the breaking point will be dependent on the materials used to make them. It will be hard to fight against drones and it will be everywhere in all military all over the world. Human pilots take to long to train and too vulnerable due to weak physical makeup. This is the way to go in the foreseeable future.

Are you happy with life as it is ? Well, next time when you are down, just remember that it's all in your mind ! You can control your mind, but often than not, many of us are not conscious of our state of mind ! It determine how you want to be and what to be and when you want to be in your desired state. The mind is unique, it is not a physical asset like the brain, it is like a invisible force or spirit.

Every time a jet like a A380 or a B777 flies, a great amount of energy is released for hours during such flights. Can we harness such energy to power the flight itself ? We are just mixing the fuel and air and creating a reaction to push the plane forward. If the trust from such a jet can be feed into another machine which also pushes the plane forward at the same time, it will probably enable the plane to fly faster and consuming less fuel. Imagine the amount of energy expanded with the number of planes flying all around the world. Human are just burning fuel which can never be recovered!

If NASA had flown up to Apollo 27 till 1976, we could be already on Mars by now! The money spent on Cold War could have been well spent on exploring the unknown, but they were spent on fighting a psychological war ! 

Imagine what would the Canadian aviation industry be like if the CF-105 Arrow has gone into production in the late 50s ? Why was it cancelled ? What if 100 of them were built for the RCAF ? 

Why do countries spend so much on their military? Just 1 simple reason - to guard against the evil mind of others ! Invasion is due to the mind turning evil, people want to control others, to void others doing the same to them. It's such a pathetic ideology, but human do not have a choice. The mind all work individually and are not cooperative at all. It's something that no human can do to stop themselves and others from becoming bad. The mind can be just illogical and will go crazy anytime. The mind is powerful and weak at the same time, changes all the time.

Singapore ordered 2 more Type 218 submarine from Germany, taking the total for the Type to 4. The very first one will be delivered in 2020, replacing all the older Swed built submarine one by one. Hopefully, they will have some land attack capability eventually. The next announcement would probably be for a bigger LPD or LPH with a a full deck.

Space X next launch is scheduled for Monday, 15 May 2017. Keeping up the momentum is important for the company now and for the industry. It's a technology that human have yet to master, it has to reach a stage similar to taking a casual car ride. Ya, maybe a bit far fetch with our currently technology level. Human need to venture out of this crystal ball, the universe is out there for a purpose. 

It was very close to sub 2 for Eliud Kipchoge, closer than most people could imagine! It is a difficult run, the speed that he ran for 2 hour 25 second is crazy! He is indeed King of the marathon and will be for awhile, do not think that anyone can come close at the moment. But it would be quite awhile before anyone can do it in a real marathon race, beating the 2 hour mark.   Maybe another 3-5 years, this is good guess ?

Despite being a amateur runner, Yuki Kawauchi has made remarkable achievements. He just tied the world record for the most sub 2:12 on 7 May 2017, Sunday at the Prague marathon. He also holds all the world records for all categories from sub 2:13 to sub 2:19. You can read this interesting article at Japanrunningnews.blogspot.

Running seems to be second nature to anyone, as long as both your feets are above ground at any one time, you are running! But, to run well, long and fast is extremely difficult. You need to really treat your body well to actually attain a certain level of competency in running. This is why to be certified a gold standard runner takes a lot of discipline and determination, plus some level of natural talent. Maintaining the mileage is critical, watching what you eat is critical and resting well is critical as well. A normal person will not be able to achieve the gold standard of sub 2:10 in a marathon ever in their life time. A serious runner will be more likely to aim for a sub 3 hours which will be a dream come true for 99 percent of all runners!

It is extremely important for runners to watch how much they weigh, imagined if you are overweight by 5kg, it's like you run carrying a 5kg backpack! Your legs will be stressed, they are built to carry only a certain body weight. So remember to cut back when you are hurting more from a sore legs.
