SpaceX First Stage B1046.1

Spacex launched its first Falcon 9 Rocket with the new block 5 first stage configuration on 11 May 2018, with boaster B1046.1. Theotically, this should be the 59th Falcon 9 first stage boaster Rocket, but before B1001, it was numbered B0001-0007. But, 1 or 2 unit number were skipped in between the boasters. So, if the boaster is on a first flight, it is example, B1048.1. So the first block 5 boaster is the B1046.1, which Spacex is taking apart in detailed to determine how well it held during the launch. The curious thing for all the people interested in the reusable rocket is how far the sequence number of 1 boaster can get up to ? B1046.3 will create history in the launch history of SpaceX, the Space Launch industry or mankind, as it will be the first time that a same boaster has been flown 3 times in actual space launch of a payload to orbit! SpaceX is in fact so far ahead of the rest of the pact, if anyone want to associate the rest of the industry on the same level as SpaceX....

Is the human race an advanced race ?

There are many who thinks that how can you call yourself an advance race if you only know your own planet ? I do not think anyone can disagree with the point! Any other living beings who can come to Earth will definitely possess far advance technology! Human can hardly get out of the atmosphere! Maybe human should try to get to the moon and back more frequently to master space technology. So the simple answer is No, the human race is not an advanced race!

Asking too much for Wallich Residence penthouse

The Wallich Residence units in Singapore down town are asking too much, overpriced! Who would pay S$100million for a penthouse with only 92.5 years left ? You can buy 3 good class freehold detach house with this amount. Whoever buy must be a billionaire who has too much money.

How to make people think in the right way

Everyone, or almost everyone has the ability to think, so what is thinking? Thinking can be described as visualising things or event as you would like it to be, it would become real when you actually execute the action in your everyday life. So what do you mean by thinking in the right way? Thinking in the right way has to do with not harming anything when executed in reality. Sound simple but not easy to execute, human tend to do many wrongs before they finally get it right. Another hurdle to overcome is the evil in the mind, which very often defeat the good side of human beings. It takes alot of determination to remain good and do good all the time.

Who created human ?

This is a fundamental question that has many answers, because everyone wish to hear the answer they want to hear! Actually, no one has the answer. It’s a question that is impossible to answer. 

If human can live in peace together

Imagine how nice it would be if all human on earth can really live together in peace, no killing each other, no stealing and no power struggle. Just one global family regardless of race, religion and whatever differences! But, it is difficult for human to tame their vulnerable mind, the dark side always seems to have an edge! It will take time and success is not guaranteed. In fact, it’s almost impossible to suppress the dark side, this is where the military force suppose to be called upon.

Small Countries can expand without limit in Space

There is unthinkable amount of space in Space beyond Earth, no need to fight for space. But, you need to bring everything you need, or you need to mine any rock you encountered or the moon or create new materials to build your space habitat. It might seems impossible but it can be done with lots of try and error and lots of practice. It’s difficult to the human as they are greedy for power and cannot work together peacefully. They are just so afraid that the other party will take advantage of them if they let their guts down. Maybe, small countries should think about this option to expand their frontiers.

Income 350 Run 2018 Result

I completed the 21.1 km Income Eco Run on 29 April 2018, Sunday. I started near the end of the second wave at 5.13am, my left leg was hurting a little before the run, I think it’s due a affected nerve. I had a spray from the crew before the start and I tried my best to really take it easy. It did not affect me much for the first 5 km, reached 5km in 32min30sec but I kept fearing that the pain could get worse. I did not run any faster than 6.30 per km, although it is not the pain that held me back. It was not a good feeling to run with the niggling pain, it was a good training to be persistent in wanting to complete the run with such a pain obstacle. I finally finished with a net time of 2hour28mim48sec. I told myself that I would rather be clocking 7min plus km by running slow then to clock 10min plus per km if I had walked a few km.

No Limit

Eliud Kichoge is correct, no human is limited. Human is not limited and can do much more. It depends on how much you really want to achieve something! Human should always push themselves to go further and beyond the unknown territory.
