That was great!

Three things I had never realized, but I should have in retrospect:
1. That the SRBs gained that much additional altitude before they begin their descent.
2. That their velocity went up that much after burn out. Momentum is a wonderful thing
3. That they hit the ocean that close together

Neat stuff…
