#1 I realize the factory location is convenient for the launch site, but that's not the place I would have chosen. Too many tropical storms. But I suppose that's the case of any launch site.

#2 They plan for 2 launch sites at the Cape too.

They can even send boosters and rockets to the Cape via Space from TX Launch Sites . Just saying...

Static fires at the old gun range (now test site) right on the Rio Grande. Actual launch from the current tower on the Gulf at Boca Chica and a second tower and a 2nd launch site has already started construction there.
