Anyway, here's a random tidbit of info for you.
In 1959 the USS Barbero launched a missile with 3000 letters in it from off the coast of Florida to NAAS Mayport, Florida. It was the beginning of what would be a breakthrough in the delivery of mail, it was estimated at the time that "Before man reaches the moon, mail will be delivered within hours from New York to California, to Britain, to India or Australia by guided missiles. We stand on the threshold of rocket mail."

I could only imagine how dangerous that would seem to the Russians with all of those mail rockets flying about
