Clear Lake City Texas is the primary residential community surrounding NASA Johnson Space Center and hosts a massive concentration of aerospace engineers, scientists, and defense contractors supporting US space exploration and military satellite programs. The community experienced catastrophic flooding during Hurricane Harvey in 2017 — thousands of JSC employees' homes were flooded, temporarily disrupting space station operations. The Boeing and Lockheed Martin facilities in the Clear Lake area support classified military space programs. Foreign intelligence collection targeting the aerospace workforce here is well-documented.
