    General Cartwright stumbled over the word "Pacific". It is corrected by a
    note in the formal transcript, as is the nautical/statute miles error, and
    it makes perfect sense.
    
    The reason for the mainly-oceanic re-entries can be seen in the second
    graphic on this page and it is elaborated in the immediately-preceding
    paragraph:
    http://www.zarya.info/Tracking/USA193/USA193.php
    
    Several hours passsed after the intercept before the ground track started to
    cross over significant quanties of the Earth's land mass.
