Rocket mail is the delivery of mail by rocket or missile.The rocket lands by deploying an internal parachute upon arrival.It has been attempted a few times with varying levels of success.
In 1959 the US Navy submarine USS Barbero assisted the Post Office Department with the only
delivery of missile mail.On 8 June 1959, Barbero fired a Regulus missile targeted at Naval Station Mayport, Florida.Though successful, rocket mail failed due to costs and numerous failures.
