This startup built a rocket that delivers cargo from Okinawa to Taiwan in just 15 minutes. It's called Rook, built by Hop Aero and backed by Y Combinator. The rocket carries up to 550 pounds, flies through space and lands precisely at the target. What makes it crazy is this rocket can launch from a standard shipping container and lands on any surface without a runway. Rook already completed its first tethered test and won a $1.25 million contract from the U.S. Air Force. In the future, delivering medical supplies or military equipment could take minutes instead of hours. Follow to see where it goes.
