Is this practical? To deliver a capsule to a specific location, you either need to wait for the orbital plane to align with the target, or have a fleet of capsules ready to go, each in a different orbit. Also, space is not the most hospitable place to store stuff.

If you really need stuff delivered ASAP, would it not be more practical to launch a suborbital rocket on demand?
