Teleporting Atoms as Mini-cargo... [+ favourites]

Okay, teleporting anything like a tomato or a human is probably too difficult.
However, if you can merely teleport atoms or even just fire them (like a gun) from one place to another, you might be able to provide raw materials to an outerspace location.
For example, you have a space station for our moon, and rather than fly all the way there, you fire atoms of the required substance(s) at it. The station then receives and collects the atoms, and forms the substance(s) needed.
This may or may not be more efficient than flying there, but I'd guess it may be more desirable (if possible) in certain situations, perhaps if there's a high degree of danger.
Could this work?

Ya, keep on thinking. Bg, the exersize is good for you & others . . . in a sense what is being discussed exist in naturally, energy is beamed onto the earth continually from space. We just don't make effective use of it.
