The Infinite World

The Singapore Standard Chartered Marathon is taking place today, 30 Nov 2019 Saturday, 6pm. This is the first time the Singapore SCB marathon is being held in the evening, hopefully this will help us achieve better finishing time. Personally I have not done sufficient training, I just hope I run to the best of my fitness and ability. The race is starting in 2hr25min time.

SpaceX completed its 11th mission of the year on 11 Nov 2019, it was a Starlink mission carrying 60 Starlink satellites to orbit. It was the the 78th Falcon rocket and the 76th successful launch. The first stage B1048 was launched for the 4th time and recovered for the 4th time. 

I just completed 25 laps of 400m at the Yio Chu Kang stadium in a time of 52min30.6sec according to my Suunto watch. I was quite surprised by the time as I did not look at the lap time at all today. Although it was not fast by any standard, I was surprised because I was not feeling good at all throughout the run. I just wanted to finish the run to clock some distance. It was even faster than the 8km run at the same stadium yesterday. Average lap time was 2min6.024sec and average per km was 5:15. My timing did not worsen as I though it would, I just did not feel good during the run.

I just completed a 8 km run at the Yio Chu Kang Stadium, 20 laps of 400m of the oval, in a time of 42min34.2sec. Average time per lap was 2min7.71sec. Although not a fast time, I was exhausted and is still perspiring profusely. My training is not going too well, and my timing is going nowhere as well. The SCB marathon is coming up on 30 Nov 2019 Saturday evening 6pm start. I am aiming for a 5 hour finishing time and I need to be quite focus to be able to complete in 5 hours. I only had like 3 run of 20km up till now in the last 2 months. I will try my best to finish well!!

The ongoing unrest in One of Asia premium financial centres will lead to its fall from grace! It is going to happen, with or without the current unrest. What they are asking for, is not going to happen. They are just going to lose their shine at a accelerated rate with what they are doing. It is just unwise on their part, and they are just going to make the ordinary citizens suffer hardship. They should think wisely, but with the kind of attitude that can be seen, it’s not happening.

It is hard to imagine “a thing” that popped out of nowhere to explain “everything “! A super condensed dot, that exploded to be become everything.  Please do not ask where it came from.

The R4, the fourth Black Arrow Rocket was launched on 1 April 1972, and successfully place a 125kg payload into a 500km orbit. This could have been in the news if the UK had continued with its own space program, but it was cancelled to save money. What do you think could have been the impact on the UK as a whole if the space program had progressed successfully?

A world threatening event will be needed to give earthlings a common goal! But, the killing will go on, as survival instinct kick in. People will be scrambling for food and safety, in the process killing those who are less capable of taking care of themselves.. Human nature seems to be the culprit of all the killings! Maybe human should put the blame on the creator for creating a living thing with so many flaws! What is the purpose for a faulty creation ?

I just rewatched the 2012 movie Prometheus on cable tv in Singapore. The quest for origin of life became a journey of death. I am more attracted by the technology, spacecraft and space exploration, rather than the search for the origin of life. I think the creature they found are a living organism nightmare, rather the beauty of living things. The. Human in the movie are rather arrogant and adventurous in a reckless way. I do not think at our current rate of technical progress, human can even come close to physically getting to Pluto by 2093, maybe possible by 2300 or beyond to leave our own solar system. 

Because nobody wants to befriend a race that kills its own kind. Humans are likely considered as low life not worth having a second look. But then, anyone at your doorstep from another star system would be way more advanced than human and could probably wipe out earth with little effort. 

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

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!

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. 

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 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. 

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. 

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

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

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.

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.
