    Well, a suborbital flight is less than an hour to anywhere. That absolutely has its advantages if cost and efficiency aren’t factors, but the payload would still have to be prepared and loaded. At that point, it just sounds like a way to compensate for bad logistics. It could be legitimately useful for emergency/surprise operations, but those also aren’t something you want to build your overall strategy around.
