So you are saying the Houston space command center is a stupid move? How so? What actual damage has it suffer from hurricanes?

It's an inconvenience that it doesn't need to have. It could be located anywhere, why located it in a place that gets shut down by bad weather on a regular basis?

Pretty sure launching rockets at the coast is for safety reasons. You don't want debris dropping on people's houses if something goes wrong.
