One thing has always confused me (well many things do, but lets just concentrate on this one)

Why oh why did they set the main space shuttle launch site in sub tropical stormy Florida? Why not somewhere in new mexico, arizona or even caliifornia?

Help?

I think that they wanted to launch over the ocean if things went badly. I will check, though.
