The Infinite World

SpaceX successfully launched falcon 9 and landed its first stage on its robot ship for the 208th time. It deployed 15 Starlink satellites, adding to its growing constellation. 

18 June 2023, Sunday, SpaceX completed its 41st launch of year. This launch is the 240th overall launch for the company, it carried a communication satellite for Indonesia. SpaceX should be setting a new record for total launches by end August or might September and of course a string of other records. All the space watchers are just waiting for the next Starship launch somewhere about August, to reach orbit.

SpaceX launched its 34 mission of 2023 on 21 MY 2023, with the Axiom 2 mission, carrying 4 private astronauts to the ISS.

 A lot of things that human do are ridiculous! Why spent 100 million dollars on a jet fighter? 13 billion on an aircraft carrier?  To fight against alien invaders? No it’s to fight against other fellow humans ! Why do humans do such ridiculous thing? The absurd thinking of those in power created the need to go plunder the resources, land of other humans and to the extend of extermination of other humans because they do not have the same goal or ideology! There are so much that can be done if humans stopped fighting each other! History kept repeating itself and no one can stop it!

Maybe solar power ? Space based solar power station? Or powerful solar batteries ? Cyclical hydro power ?  Lighting powered power stations?  Human need to think beyond conventional ways, but first get rid of the greed for control over others!

In this so call modern day society, I am surprised it’s so difficult to get a proper pair of water proof, comfortable footwear in Singapore! Some months it’s constantly raining, wet all the time when you step out of the house. A pair of waterproof and slip proof footwear is important.

Anyone trying to stop bad traits in human would probably not succeed, as it’s built into human as a defence mechanism! Good human can only keep teaching good traits to their fellow humans and hoping they get inspired to be good. The devils in the head is difficult to stop, as it’s there all the time, just waiting for their time to emerge.

 In the year 2022, there was a spike in the launches to space since the first satellite launched in 1957. This was thanks to a high launch cadence from SpaceX and also China. (61 vs 64) Are we really getting the hang of getting to space? High cadence seemed to indicate reusability, but so far only SpaceX can do it. No other entity has done it even once in terms of propulsion system reuse. SpaceX will still be the leader in this high cadence and reusability aspect in 2023.

 Maybe? Possible? It will be a great achievement if Starship reach orbit in 2023. 

SpaceX has made launching rockets and multiple satellites such a routine, so much so that not many people would have noticed that they have done it 59 times in 2022! A few more launches coming up in the next few days before the new year.  The company has exceeded so many space launch records and in terms of reusability of rockets, they have far exceeded every nation or company on earth. They have so far reused a rockets(stage 1)150 plus times, with a record15 times from just 1 rocket. No nation or company has ever even done it once in terms of reusing a rocket, flying to 70km and landing it successfully and reuse it.

SpaceX has launched 47 missions to orbit as of 15 October 2022, way ahead of every other nation or organisation. The majority of these are Starlink mission.  It’s reausable first stage booster rocket technology is way ahead of everyone on earth, with the leader of the pack at 14 missions.  If successful, it’s next rocket or spacecraft Starship, will be even more advanced!

The city can afford huge infrastructure and big arm deal but cannot afford to build a indoor athletic stadium. Anyway they built a while elephant private public stadium that wasted tonnes of money,  Ya, people should ask why. A real indoor athletic stadium would help boost standards, as weather would be taken care of.

SpaceX already broken it’s all time yearly launch record of 31,  it achieved 33 launches before end July 2022. What an achievement!

There is a devil in each human being, overcoming it is a challenge in life! All human beings gave in to the Devil at times in life!

There is still 9 days left in June 2022, and SpaceX has already completed 26 launches to orbit, although a majority of them are Starlink launches.  Not many are aware that this is a very impressive and unprecedented achievement even by a superpower standard, not least a private company. Even NASA at its peak could not have achieved such a feat with the rest of the industry! More impressive is the fact that SpaceX has more than a hundred reuse of its first stage rockets. The most re-flight of a block 5 first stage is 13th times, no other companies or countries have ever gotten up to orbit and back even once with a real payload. Without the governing bodies, SpaceX could have achieved much more. They are like trying to restrain a horse trying to gallop away from a bunch of tortoises.  The industry as a whole seemed to have been totally left behind in the technology chase!

SpaceX has already completed 21 successful launches to date in 2022. 

Bought a new pair of Addidas Adios 6 on 14 May 2022 from Queensway Shopping Centre. I wore it for a first run on 15 May 2022 Sunday, covered 7.16km in 40 min 34sec, averaging 5:39 per km. can definitely felt the difference between my usual flat New Balances shoes. It’s so much easier to run with the cushion and energy returned.

The fourth month of 2022 is coming to an end and SpaceX just concluded the 17th launch of the year. 10 of these launches were for its own Starlink satellites constellation. It also set a record for itself of 6 launches in April. 

What comes to mind when you read this subject? Yes, human need to be able to precisely control the vehicles that they used. They need to find an interface that would enable them to do that with exact precision and at the same time possess the situational awareness.  Vehicles are made to help human get to where they want to go, as human body cannot do so in quick time due to physical limitation. Vehicles can travel much faster than human, but do not have a purpose without human.  Ironically, human want to go fast but they also lack the ability to detect speed, have control of the vehicles and the awareness of the environment. Awareness of the environment for the vehicle can be enhanced with radar, speedometer, attitude detection an so fire.  Currently technology lacks the detection range in the vehicles itself, especially ground vehicles. Control of the vehicles is also a problem as human judgement is never accurate when they are at high speed. The number road accident pro...

Human beings are irrational and have innate fear of being dominated by some other race, faith, or groups or whatever you called them.  They cannot seemed to trust each other, as they know that they themselves can be controlled by external factors which they totally cannot defend against. Once in awhile powerful people who are irrational and cannot control themselves would create trouble for the world, just like what’s happening right now, 24 Mar 2022.  The one thing that can really unite the so called human race is perhaps a real alien invasion that will destroy the human world.  The funny thing is that although this seemed to be the only solution, human would be wiped out if ever any alien ever reached earth. They would be so much more advanced in terms of technology that there is no way for primitive human to defend themselves.  Well, there is also another comforting thing that would likely happen, they would not even bother to come, just observing the activities o...
