Gas gun shipping
super fast shipping without causing fatigue to the postal service employees | |
fire large payloads out of gas guns( with parachute)(FAA aprroved) acceleration very fast therfore only unsensetive products. humans are shipped in cryo status. paylods are launched to shipping stations landing fields. the paylods are sorted and delviered by hand.
very large objects can be launced!
this
makes overseas shipping easier.
these stations will be as common as airports
