    This is the country that drops rocket boosters on residential areas (more than once) (more than twice).

    I don’t think I’d want to be living in the areas where the rich people are getting their stuff delivered by drones.

      I mean... This is bad, but it has absolutely nothing to do with the OP.

        I think it’s relevant that there doesn’t seem to be any oversight for civilian safety in regard to experimental flying objects.

        If a large-scale government space project doesn’t get oversight, how much is there going to be for a shipping business?

      I dunno, having rich peoples' purchases dropped on my property might not be a bad thing.

    This is actually the new big thing in China but I am not convinced it make economic sense (yet).

    Is drone really much faster than transportation we have now? Remember drones flying safely require a pilot too.
