From Alex Wellerstein, the creator of NUKEMAP [previously], comes MISSILEMAP, "an interactive web visualization meant to aid in the understanding of information about the capabilities and consequences of missile launches, in particular nuclear-armed ballistic missiles."

Good to know that the V-2 I've been building in my basement can reach the Tri-Cities from Seattle.

I'll let you know before I try it out.
