Hey folks!

I'm always shooting my mouth off...

When I lived in DC, I spent about a total of an hour and a half
commuting 7 miles each way every day.  Fortunately, there were
some good radio stations there.  I always envied how the big guns
had their reserved parking places.  But it took a while to get in
that calibre.  I was aiming pretty high...

Now, with this baby, I could have saved a whole lot of time.
Saved gasoline too...

With the inertial compensators, the shell can provide a safe ride
for the single passenger.  The radar unit triggers maximum output
to the inertial compensators on landing, while the CPR guidance
will direct the shell to a designated parking place.

Cargo models are available for pizza delivery, where the grav
pizza robots are illegal.  The above can deliver up to an 18 inch
pizza with pinpoint accuracy.  Pizza delivery can be quite fast.
The large range allows a single Domino's Pizza Parlor to cover
many times the service area they could before.  This is
especially helpful in rural areas.  Campers, sick of trail food,
may now order pizza by radio and have it delivered within
seconds.  No matter where you are, Domino's delivers!  Your pizza
will arrive in 3 minutes or it's free!  These cargo models are
used sometimes used by the military.  It's official military
designation is C.P.R.  (Combat Pizza Resupply)

Requires a 50cm high velocity gun:
