Rockets can be launched from just about anywhere. But if the objective is to put something into orbit, or send it further out from earth, then the closer to the equator the launch is, the better. Equatorial launches "add" the "speed" of the earth's rotation to the equation, and this allows less fuel for the same payload, or more payload for the same fuel as would be used farther toward the poles. In the United States, NASA launches its rockets from Cape Canaveral in Florida.
