There are various reasons
1) Close to the equator which adds boost to rocket to launch.
2) very good geographical corridor to launch satellite(launch corridor).
3)It is towards east side ,earth rotation give advantageous.
4)Good transportation facililty
5)Near to Sea ,in case of failure it will fall into sea.
5) uninhibited land.
6) Atmospheric reasons ,weather conditions should not be problem to launch vehicles,most of the days it should be clear .

I watched as the space shuttle launched from Cape Canaveral.
there was 2 .. launching to get to the international space station up in space
It takes the Shuttle about 2 days to reach the International Space Station.
There are thousands of items on hundreds of checklists completed by thousands of technicians, engineers and astronauts at the Kennedy Space Center that must be completed before launching a space shuttle. These preparations start several days before the scheduled launch.
Cape Canaveral, on the northeast coast of Florida.
depends where you launch from and where you go
Now, NASA launches rockets. The Space Shuttles were lied into retirement in 2011. The Space Shuttle was invented in the '80s. NASA has been launching rockets since the '50s!
It doesn't. The space shuttle never gets significantly closer to the Moon than its launching pad does (the space shuttle generally operates at a few hundred miles altitude, tops; the Moon is 240,000 miles away).
One. That's the big orange thing you see the shuttle strapped to when it's on the launching pad.

No, the last space shuttle launched by the U.S., the shuttle Atlantis (STS-135), landed on July 21st, 2011. The only manned vehicles currently launching into space are Russian Soyuz vehicles servicing the ISS (International Space Station).
