> Do you think it a coïncidence that most spy satellites are launched from Vandenberg? It's not a coincidence, it's geography. It is desirable for reconnaissance satellites to cover the entire planet regularly. That means high inclination orbits. That means southward launches (as opposed to eastward). That requires a launch site with ideally lots of ocean and not a lot of population to the south/southeast. The US does plenty of military launches into other orbits from the east coast.
