It is a good illustration for the launch azimuth restrictions, but
someone seriously botched the SRB impact distance.

I missed it the first time I looked at it, but the "SRB Impact" arc
for Kennedy is equally wrong.

The SRB splashdown area was about 150 miles from KSC, which on a
high-inclination (northeast) flight was off Jacksonville, Florida.
(Not coincidentally, more or less the same place SpaceX parks its
barge on CRS flights.) This illustraion shows it off, roughly,
Norfolk, Virgnia.


I didn't look at it, but SRB splashdown range is nominally around 120
nautical miles, so the 150 mile SRB impact range seems about right.

If the US always used km instead of miles and nautical miles, we might
get this stuff right the first time. ;-)
