Although I always heard it that CA had too much of the space shuttle pork, what with the factory in Palmdale, And North Dakota none at all? So they had to find a way that all the senitors in all 50 states got there share of pork. Which is why they will not build another shuttle unless all the states get equal access...
It's also why the SRB engines are segmented in the first place. You can't haul anything that big all the way across the country by road and there aren't any connecting waterways. The contractors that bid on building them as one piece either near the ocean or even AT the Cape lost out to the salt company.
