Singapore has no IAAF standard Indoor track and Field facility

Why is Singapore not building one ? It can help to boost standard of athletics, in the warm weather country. 

Why are human killing each other ?

Majority of humans are just not thinking in the correct way, resulting in so much self inflicted hardship for their fellow earthlings! This goes to show that their educational system is not effective in developing thinking humans! No matter how they think highly of their intellectual abilities, do not matter, they do not know that they are getting their priorities wrong. They resort to killing each other when they cannot resolve their differences. Those at the leadership position abuses their authorities for selfish personal agenda. If those leaders do not think and execute for the common good of their people, then their world would always be in self inflicted chaos!

Space Station need a workshop

Rather than to launch a fully functional space craft, why not build a workshop to assemble small spacecraft at the ISS ? Another small station should be put up, and start practicing docking and undocking, till it’s like a normal bus ride. Human need to get the basic space travel right, before thinking about going to Mars or Moon. 

Best option for Royal Navy

Naval commanders and government think too much, the hardware will not appear using mind power! Build a couple of 80 metres long patrol vessels with guns and missiles, in double quick time to resolve the patrol issue in the gulf. Should not be a problem for a former naval powerhouse!! Think simple, complicated stuff takes time and money !

Space Exploration is for Private Venture

Space exploration is best for the fearless private enterprises, as it involves lots of risk takings! No point wasting precious taxpayers money, and the investigation needed after a failed launch or mission just takes forever. No pain, no gain, nothing is avoidable if it’s going to happen anyway. This world is supposed to be unpredictable. 

How soon can SpaceX Starship Hopper reach 1km ?

SpaceX is a innovative and daring company, I believed they can reach even a few km with the Starship prototypes by end of this year and reach orbit by end of next year. 

The Fluctuation in any Economy is normal

All human should be aware of such fluctuations, government should view fluctuations as normal. Do not put fear in people and make things worst.

12.36km Run 2 July 2019

Completed a 12.36km Run in 1 hour 8min 29sec around the Marina bay to Barrage and Garden by the bay east.

SpaceX 8th mission of 2019

SpaceX has completed 7 launches to date, 6 Falcon launches and 1 Falcon Heavy. The next launch will be a Falcon Heavy on 24 Jun 2019, it is going be a night launch. This the 3rd Heavy launch, and the first carrying multiple satellites. To be exact, it is 24 small satellites. It’s called STP2 and it’s a US Airforce mission.

Problem of Crypto Currencies

The biggest problem is that they come of out nowhere and people start driving the price up based on rumours and false optimism! Is it a company dealing with some previous material or a revolutionary technology? Almost none of them are link to anything revolutionary, even the biggest name is not reliable. The blame should go to the governments for allowing such a thing to go on and even trade at all. People now just playing follow the leader, hoping that their token go from 0 to 20000 dollars ! The next worst thing is everyone is now trying to join the ICO party, hoping it goes from 0 to a figure a few hundred percent higher!  Not sure why so many people are optimistic about such electronics dollar. This is just pure speculation and it can disappear overnight or the next second as proven by coin exchanges that were hacked and losses millions worth of coin.

New Balance MCRUZKB2 First Run

I bought a new pair of New Balance MCRUZKB2 on 26 May 2019, Sunday(Singapore). I thought it looks nice with the wrap around mesh, and the black and grey colour scheme. Although it’s a pair of running shoes, I was thinking of using it as a casual shoes as I did not have very high hope of it performing well for running. I have been wearing Adidas Adizero series for years, but they are hard to get in Singapore nowadays. I went for a run at the stadium today, 27 May 2019 Monday. I did a 5km in about 26:14, and I must say the shoes exceed my expectation. It was comfortable, light and it feels natural when I was running. I think it was better when I was running at a faster speed. I was telling my colleague this afternoon that I wish I could get some surprises from this pair of shoes, and I did really get a surprise!

SpaceX Starlink satellites launch 16 May 2019

This launch will be an interesting one if SpaceX pull it off successfully!  60 Satellites of their own ....!!

Human just like to kill each other

Recent bombing events just proved again that human just like to kill each other because they are different from each other. So why human still insist to group themselves into different beliefs and interests groups? So that they can get at each other? Human just need to wake up to the reality of this little planet and their selfish mind!!

Falcon Heavy Lift Off 11 April 2019

SpaceX Falcon Heavy lift off from Launch Complex 39A Florida an hour ago at 6.35 pm EDT. The pay load was the Arabsat 6A, a telecommunication satellite weighing more than 6,000 kg for Saudi Arabia. The 2 side boosters separated from the core 2min37sec into flight and a minute later the core booster separated. The 2 side boosters landed at landing zone LZ1 and LZ2 7min45sec into the mission. About 2min later at 9min45sec into the mission, the core booster landed on the drone ship Of Course I Still Love You in the Atlantic Ocean. This is the first time all 3 boosters landed successfully. And, of course the Arabsat 6A was inserted into a successful orbit on its way to GTO! What an amazing mission which put SpaceX way ahead in terms of reusable space launch technology an cost saving.

2nd Falcon Heavy 9 April 2019

SpaceX 2nd Falcon Heavy launch is taking place on the 11 April 2019 if all proceed without any further delays. All 3 boasters coming back to land, 2 of them side boosters at LZ1 and LZ2, the centre core on OCISLY. 

Can Human put aside their differences!

Yes, No, Maybe.....! Human need to put this issue away, in order for them to advance to the next level. Human nature is deterring human to live peacefully with each other. Human need to evolve by eliminating evil thoughts that has been constantly harassing the mind to err.

Yuki Kawauchi 8th Lake Biwa Marathon

Human can have peace

Human can attain peace when they stop killing each other! Education curriculum can add this subject and work towards this objective. It’s difficult but it should start somewhere.

SpaceX 2nd Launch of 2019

SpaceX completed its 2nd launch of 2019 on 22 Feb, launch time 1.45 am local time from SLC-40 Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. Payload consists of 3 items, 1 Indonesia private satellite, 1 micro satellite for the US Air Force and a Israeli Lunar lander called Beresheet. If successful, Israel will be become the 4th country to land a spacecraft on the moon. It’s only weighed less than 600kg including fuel and will reach the moon on its own power in 2 months time. The block 5 first stage B1048.3 was launched for a 3rd time and landed a 3rd time on a drone ship, demonstrating SpaceX recoverable space technology.

SpaceX made NASA looks redundant

The pace that SpaceX is making progress made NASA looks redundant. Imagine SpaceX making a landing on the moon before NASA ! Embarrassing right ? Anyway, this looks to be imminent, NASA is so risk averse and full of red tape. They cannot get things done in the new economy. Advancement in space technology is no longer dominated by the government anymore in this new age. Risk taking is necessary in space exploration, you can seat at home if you are afraid to take risk. No pain, no gain, just as simple as that. It’s a harsh environment, you cannot predict what will happen, you need to get out there to experience it. Nothing beats going out there to test out all the critical systems!
