Webster Texas sits adjacent to NASA Johnson Space Center — the Mission Control hub for US human spaceflight operations and the training center for all NASA astronauts. Johnson Space Center is the nerve center of the International Space Station program and Artemis lunar missions. The city is in Harris County and experienced significant flooding during Hurricane Harvey in 2017, which threatened NASA operations. The concentration of aerospace engineering talent and irreplaceable spaceflight infrastructure makes JSC a significant target for foreign state espionage, particularly from China and Russia.
