FEDEX would love a suborb
package deliverer,


I've heard this said over and over, but it's not true.

The time it takes to go from one airport to another is the least part
of the time it takes Fedex to deliver a package. You could reduce the
travel time from CA to NYC to zero and not make a significant impact
on the delivery time, which is depending on pick up, sorting, delivery
to the airport, sorting at the destination and then physical delivery.
That's even more true in places like Moscow, where on-the-ground
delivery is more complicated.

So you can forget Fed-Ex paying a lot of money to ship things
suborbitally.
