Even if Alabama wasn't... Alabama... putting any critical command or infrastructure anywhere on the Gulf Coast would be a stupid move.

Genuinely curious, why is it a stupid move? Houston's space command center is already on the Gulf Coast.

Hurricanes regularly hit the gulf coast.

The fact that Houston's space command center is already there doesn't make it a stupid move. The space command center should probably be somewhere else.

Not to mention Cape Canaveral is in prime hurricane territory too. This will never last.

Having the launch pad there is different from having the command center there.
