Suborbital ballistic delivery service shit using railgun
I initially read the title as “The crazy time the United States delivered a missile by mail”
same
think about how many stemps must go on that envelope, and someone has to lick them all
S A M E
Yeah me too
Aviation lord Do did I
"Not the death and destruction, the U.S tried that on a full scale" 😂😂😂😂😂
“Missiles are pretty cool unless they’re pointed at you.”
Philippines Productions seems legit
Hes not wrong
My senior yearbook quote
Cant argue with that
Well, technically the hot end would be pointed away from you in that case, so it is still pretty cool.
Me: reads title
Me: that's the most American thing I've ever heard
I can't help but feel like delivering mail, like this, to Russia could lead to... well... full scale war.
imagine seeing a missile and starting to run then getting a closer look and seeing the USPS logo
when you order one day delivery at 11:59 PM
3:23 You could say that the rocket mail [idea] backfired
Chaitanya Singh omg plz stop
*Drum Roll*
This reminds me of an old radio comedy sketch my dad still has a recording of, based upon the British army supposedly developing a new prototype superweapon described as a "jet-propelled, laser-guided, intercontinental ballistic NAAFI".
For those of you not aware, the NAAFI (Navy Army and Air Force Institute) is essentially the official "corner shop" of the British armed forces, providing our troops with small comforts to remind them of home whilst on deployment. Anywhere there's a large number of British military personnel outside of British territory, you'll probably find a NAAFI set up to cater to them.
The radio sketch, therefore, starts on the idea that a NAAFI could be launched by rocket from the home islands to almost anywhere in the world, and be functional, within minutes, thus making it functionally impossible to beat British soldiers by trying to demoralize them, and supposedly making our military unbeatable. The rest is all about various groups trying to steal or destroy the blueprints for the new weapon, and the humour of the sketch actually holds up fairly well even today.
Could you upload the recording or give us the name of it we would love to know
@@softb Agreed.
Meme use is on point! 10/10
Correct correct correct
My mems are better
👌
not the best meme but a new memer was born
10/10 would meme again
"Not the Full scale destruction. The US tried that at Full Scale."
I guess in Soviet Russia, mail delivers you to missile then
no you are the missile, go deliver mail now!
What
In soviet russia
Water bad
Vodka good
*mosco mosco i dont fucking know*
What about missile-delivered quesadillas, huh?!! what about that?! *eye twitches*
Honestly I thought his point was that these existed
I guess this is how Kim got his components...
Napoleon I Bonaparte Oúi oúi my good Bónéparté.
Napoleon I Bonaparte Why are you on RUclips? You have some more conquering to do.
@@napoleonibonaparte7198 YOU DO FOR BATTLING AGAINST THE BRITISH AND AMERICANS
@MrZapparin what
If mail today was delivered by missiles internationally, it would be a great way to take your enemy by surprise :)
I thought we were mailing a rocket.
That'd be awesome too.
It would be.
These transitions are so smooth my skin cried
Ok, honestly I think that mail by missle sounds awesome if you made a cheap enough missle. Also, I love the mail videos.
When you wanna post relevant comment early so you watch the video with 2x speed.
I need to know does somebody do that?
Well you failed
I’m always amazed at the crazy topics you find for your videos.
"The US tried it on full scale"
Sam Mathew that’s not really funny
You've got mail!
That has been tried in small scale,
not the death and destruction.
The US did that is full scale.
LOL
*_"It's my mail and I need it now!"_*
*Call the US Post Office*
LoL
hmm yes interesting. The best name for half as interesting
*877-MAILNOW*
*mail service with extra carpet bombing in your house, yo*
"...unless you're going for widespread death and destruction but that's bad, I'm told"
I wonder who told you that
Russian propaganda
I was on the mail run plane to Raoul Island once. When we got close we circled the island, opened the door, and then just dropped a box of mail out (it had a small parachute attached). Job done and we carried on with our regular mission.
These videos are so much more meme-y. Wendover needs to be like this.
Kim Jong-Un's unknown distant cousin:
Kim "Mail" Mis-Il

Kim Jong Mail
“Trains are slow”
*Cue laughter from pretty much all of Europe, Japan, China...
"... unless you're going for widespread death and destruction, but that's bad... I'm told." LOL. That line in this context was absolutely hilarious!!! And your delivery was spot on. I love how you slide little one-liners like this into your monologue. With such an awesomely developed sense of (dry) humor, you are obviously a superior form of life!
I love it. We need more of this! This is a great video and idea!
“Unless you’re going for widespread death and destruction, but that’s bad..........I’m told.” 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
Your sense of humor is much underrated bruh.
I love this guy just for his sense of humor. And also the topcis of videos.
Now *THATS* what I call overnight shipping!
"unless you're going for death and destruction ,that's bad ,I'm told"
😂😂😂 I really died laughing on it
Why would I trust a company to "protect" my online identity for free?
because, TOC, and laws
This guy was just ahead of his time. He invented mail delivery by drones and didn't even know it.
@4:35 but what if Dashlane has a security breach?! I would just assume it's *_NOT_* a great idea to store all of your most important private information in one centralized location..
But if there's mail delivered to the ISS isn't it delivered by missile? Or is that considered a rocket? What's the difference?
Would be emailed, fuel would be considered to be too expensive to used to get mail to a satellite. I think? I may be wrong
Missiles = guided
Rockets = unguided
You're welcome
Eric W. wait but rockets to the ISS are definitely guided, you kind of need that precision to hit a target that's moving several kilometres a second several hundred kilometres away
Jesse Li well...the rocket that bring the module to ISS isnt guided like you guide a car or an airplane to certain direction, and if you ever see the astronaut onboard the rocket during launch, they didnt do anything.
becayse everything is calculated before, the trajectory of the rocket ,etc. so when the rocket is launched, both of the ground control and the pilot just sit and watch.
oh yea...when the rocket have reach a certain heights, they detach from the main module and head back to earth, and that module is guided by astronaut onboard to approach and dock the ISS
Missiles=Rockets practically
Oh damn, Geneva Lake is like 3 miles from where I live.
So Informational!! Love your channel by the way!!
I have been to Supai Arizona. Havasu Falls is there and other waterfalls..... absolutely beautiful place.
USA: *"KNOCK, KNOCK HEROSHIMA! YOU'VE GOT MAIL!!!!*
That Wendover Productions video about the US Postal Service is one my favourite video's on your channel! 😀
This is a perfect thing to make a retrofuturistic story more retrofuturistic.
0:14
personally the post office video was one of my favorites of your videos
I think your sense of humor is getting better. Keep it up!
A caveman would have had the best online security because he doesn't have Internet.
I'll see myself out...
But the real question is how fast you can deliver the mail with toyota corrolas
Chaitanya Singh wrong channel
"Unless you're going for widespread death and destruction. Which is bad.... I'm told" XD
0:38 Man, you gotta be quick on the space bar with this guy!
For 50 cents, I can get a physical package from my house to a house anywhere in Alaska. That is pretty awesome. If I ever want to mail anything.
Mail by Toyota Coroll- *oops, wrong channel.*
All the mail videos are great!
Mail is also delivered by boat on Lake Winniepeausauki in New Hampshire! All the people living on islands get their mail delivered by boat.
"Even if you take the explosive out of a rocket, it + the ground is not a recipe for success... Unless you're going for widespread death and destruction but that's bad, I'm told"
With the "I'm told" part, i was like, it could also be a good thing, you just don't know it yet
“but that’s bad, i’m told” LOL
One of the best channels on yt never change :D
I just love the witty comments throughout the video, thanks HaI!
You need to do a video on why shipping prices are weird. I can pay 1.99 on amazon and have my package in 10 days. Yet when i buy something from a clothing store it costs 10 bucks and takes 10 days.
Just love the channel!!!
Imagine sending a message of surrender by missile.
Woops
"But that's bad...[very short, almost imperceptible pause]...I'm told."
/dies laughing
Sounds like an explosive idea.

"YOU GOT MAIL!"

USAF guarantees 30 minutes warhead delivery while the pizzas coming cold.
On holiday in London with my mother I mentioned I would like to go to the Postal Museum, she looked at me like I was crazy.
Oh that's my Amazon delivery that just ripped through the roof, really needed a gameboy.
Missiles > Drones
*Take notes, postal services*
@Daniel even when my comment gets barely any likes you still find me
Thank you Sam, very cool!
Officially the smoothest sponsor plug on RUclips
Can you do one on what makes a road a road a street a street and highway a highway etc
I misread it as "delivered missiles by mail" and I was basically like "That doesn't sound very safe"
What was the song you used in the background for the first 2 minutes? Thanks, love your videos!
"Unless you are going for widespread death and destruction, but thats *BAD*, I'm told"
Yeah, I can make quotes of my favorite parts too.
I loved your post office making America video, just an FYI. It's what made me a subscriber.
"My mail is bigger than your mail and is a one that actually has something written in it"
If Kim Jong Un were to send a letter to the US, I bet it would be sent by missile.
You'd never ever have the problem to miss the post delivery guy. You package will enter your house unless you live in a bunker.
Please do a video on all the nuclear bombs lost so far ;) Either here or on your main. Just make sure to include planes.
It looks like there's an animation bug at 2:42. the slide changes to the east coast, quickly switches back to the image of the submarine, then fades into the image of the east coast.
Drone delivery quesadillas probably the best thing I've ever heard.
"Trains are slow, cars are faster" is probably the most American thing you've said in a while
Fear not, i have an idea for those Drone Delivered Quesadillas
*authentic communication between the post office and a major postal union (circa 1959)*
Major postal union: yo where’s my spicy *r o c k e t m a i l*
Rocket postal service: rocket mail broke
Major postal union: understandable, have a great day
I thought your mail video was one of the best on your channel
TIL there's a town called Lake Geneva on the shores of a lake called Geneva lake, a bit more than 7000km away from a city called Geneva on the shores of a lake called lake geneva.
Is this like the new Bern or new Glarus, named after places in switzerland because swiss people moved there?
Plus, at the height of the Cold War you really don't want to be double checking which missiles have postcards and which have Soviet nukes.....
You know what would make an interesting video topic? Saint Pierre and Miquelon, tiny islands off the coast of Newfoundland Canada, the last French colonies in North America where they use the Euro as currency!
I didn't know there was stock footage for a drone delivering a quesidilla
Mail Bombing has gone to a whole new level.
Best in-video ads ever!
During world war one. The British actually used a similar system. They used rockets to deliver orders and information back to high command. Unfortunately it didn't work as it either destroyed the information or had the unintended effect of killing the recipients. On the other hand it has the unintended effect of fast tracking several people military careers up the British army ranks
the video should've been called "That one time delivering mail nearly became rocket science"
"Im sorry but we lost your package in a missile accident. Heres a 10$ coupon on your next shipment"
I'm pretty sure if the BFR earth to earth service really happens, there inevitably will be post-compartment chartered by amazon
