The official answer is that it was chosen because of the availability of water transport and an all-weather airport, proximity to a major telecommunications network, availability of established industrial workers and contractor support, an available supply of water, a mild climate permitting year-round outdoor work and a culturally attractive community. Houston was initially included as a candidate location because of the proximity to the 4,700-acre (19 km2) United States Army San Jacinto Ordnance Depot located on the Houston Ship Channel, and to regional universities.
Some say it was because Texan Lyndon Baines Johnson was Vice President at the time and oversaw the space program.
