what ever happened to this? i want my zappos order delivered by rocket! same day delivery is so last century.

1959: “Rocket mail” becomes “missile mail” when 3000 pieces of mail are delivered by a cruise missile fired from a US Navy submarine.

Experiments in delivering mail by rocket had met with mixed success since the first rocket mail was sent between 2 Austrian villages in 1931. The first successful delivery by this method in the United States occurred in 1936, when 2 rockets fired from Greenwood Lake, New Jersey, landed on the New York shore ~300m away.
