Introducing Rook by (YC S26): an autonomous hypersonic cargo rocket that delivers 550 lbs up to 450 miles in ~15 minutes. It launches from a standard 40-foot shipping container and lands on unprepared surfaces—no runways or fixed infrastructure required.

"cargo rocket" yeah it's definitely not getting used for dropping nitrogenized compounds on top of a middle school in uzkebistan within the next 8 years
i hope you'll get to hypersonic person transport at scale someday. flying 20 hours even in business class sucks
I weigh less than 550lbs. and sometimes I want to travel up to 450 miles in less than 15 minutes. sometimes further tho, maybe i could keep hopping?
This is f’n WILD! SO many potential uses, from commercial shipping to military supply and deployment logistics. My gears are spinning top speed!
