Houston: The Control Center, Not the Launchpad
Let's clear something up right away: Houston is where they tell the rockets what to do, not where they actually do it. Think of Houston as the brain of the operation, and Florida as the muscle.
Where Do Rockets Actually Launch?
If you're looking for a countdown and a fiery liftoff, you'll need to book a flight to Florida. Specifically, the Kennedy Space Center. That’s where all the magic happens. But don't worry, Houston has its own charm. You can still visit the Johnson Space Center, see some cool rockets, and pretend you're in Mission Control.

But Wait, There's More!
