I guess Edwards doesn't provide enough public safety.

Anyone happen to have a chart for a shuttle re-entry profile from ISS
orbit to White Sands?

Yet the ISS is placed 1) in such a low orbit that if not reboosted frequently, it will come down shortly and 2) in an orbit very inclined from the Solar System's orbital plane so that *you cannot* launch from the ISS out to the rest of the System except by extravagant fuel usage to correct the bad velocity vector you have from the ISS orbit. ...
