I’m surprised there isn’t a startup doing ballistic delivery. Puts all the heavy components in the end that doesn’t leave the ground and gets reused.

  Ballistic delivery would likely be unpredictable due to changes in the wind, which could result in dangerous or destructive accidents. I suppose there could be some ballistic projectile with a low-power guidance system.

  T-shirts are already frequently distributed using ballistic methods at sports events. Just upsize it.
