    Given the presence of Dr. Mel and Cliff, Dirk doesn’t actually need stormtroopers to eventually take out the Sirius.

    They do keep up appearances while waiting, though.

    Okay, that’s great. Just how do the packages get to the space station in the first place? Also is there a market for smoldering remnants of Amazon orders?

    Better to deliver steel bolts to invading armies.

    If the R.U. Sirius is only doing 3,000 mph, they’re in trouble. The ISS needs to travel nearly 6 times that speed to maintain orbit. Even assuming they are high enough for a geosynchronous orbit, they would still need to be going around 7,000 mph.

    If the object has a small enough mass then the force of impact can’t be that dangerous, with F = mv/2t.

    Cost of Delivery? The goods must first come up to the space station R.U. Sirius at US$69 million per launch. Then cost of sending it back to earth per package, Cost maybe as low as one or two million. A real bargain.

    Assuming the package survives the heat upon entry to the earth’s atmosphere, I’m not quite certain it will survive the sudden stop upon its arrival to the planet. But then again, Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner did seem to have some sort of “pause control” with some of the falling objects they came across. Maybe Warner Bros. is really a military lab with some hidden secrets that happened to slip into the Saturday morning cartoons!

    Reminds me of when Les Nesman delivered turkeys from a helicopter on WKRP in Cincinnati…

    My favorite is a bumper sticker (or it may have been a t-shirt) that said – Tardis Express, when it absolutely has to be there yesterday.

    Sending something down to Earth is relatively cheap compared to how much it costs to get it into orbit. SpaceX currently has the cheapest service at approximately $1300 per pound.

    Burning up in the atmosphere due to friction could negatively impact the quality of the package.

    If he just delivers meteorites then there should be no problem!

    Satellites travel at 28000 kilometres per hour so where does the 3000 come in?
