FedEx Sues US Commerce Department Over Huawei Export Restrictions. It's arguing it shouldn't be forced to spy for the US government by opening up Huawei packages. FedEx spying activities was exposed recently when it delivers many Huawei packages to USA instead of going to China as ordered by US government. In additional, FedEx claimed it was forced to pick on Huawei products and fears that will cause retaliation by China. The company says US regulations essentially deputizes FedEx to police the contents of the millions of packages it ships daily. FedEx says in its lawsuit that doing so is a virtually impossible task, logistically, economically, and legally.

@ 8:30 Core rocket fails its landing on the drone ship
SpaceX's Falcon Heavy rocket launched at 2:30am ET on Tuesday morning, sending its payload of 24 satellites into space. Less than three minutes after the launch, the rocket's two side-mounted boosters separated from the first stage's center core, and subsequently returned to make a safe landing near Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
At 3 minutes and 30 seconds into the flight, the rocket's upper stage separated from the center core and flew onward, into the first of several orbits. The center core then attempted to make the "hottest" landing of a Falcon rocket to date, more than 1,200km down range on a drone ship in the Atlantic Ocean. SpaceX founder Elon Musk had warned earlier that, because of the core's exceedingly high energy during its return to Earth, it only had about a 50 percent chance of landing on the drone ship. It didn't quite make it, making a visible explosion as it hit the water nearby.
Meanwhile, the Falcon Heavy's upper stage still had much work to do. Over the next 3 hours and 30 minutes, it was slated to drop off 24 satellites into three different orbits.
