Bullet train project clears hurdle with eminent domain ruling.

The proposed high-speed railway between Houston and Dallas recently took a big step toward coming to fruition.
Texas Central, the Dallas-based company behind the bullet train project, received a favorable ruling from Texas’ 13th Court of Appeals on May 7. The appellate court held that Texas Central is “both a railroad company and interurban electric railway,” giving it the right to use eminent domain as the company attempts to secure the land necessary for its 240-mile railway.

Chunks of China's Powerful Rocket Fall Back to Earth, Narrowly Missing NYC.
It's the largest piece of space junk to fall uncontrolled in nearly 30 years.
BY JENNIFER LEMAN.
The large core stage of China's Long March 5B rocket reentered Earth's atmosphere and plummeted out of control to the surface earlier this week. At 100 feet long and 16 feet wide, it's the largest piece of space junk to fall uncontrolled from low-Earth orbit in almost 30 years.
Initial reports suggested the almost 20-ton rocket stage had fallen into the Atlantic Ocean, off the west coast of Africa. But new reports from social media and some African news organizations suggest pieces of the rocket may have been strewn across parts of Cote d'Ivoire.
