Hi everyone,

Is there a good way of determining where you should plan your retro burn so that you can splashdown in the North Atlantic, North of the Caribbean Islands where the actual Gemini missions landed? It seems like there really isn't a way to do this unless you place an orbital cursor where you think might get you there and hope for the best.

That’s about the size of it, yes. Eventually you sort of learn how far you travel, and coming down from the same orbit every time will also help
