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 search for "The Jules Verne Gun" online
