If your so smart, where is the launch window



Located at an appropriate place in the launch wall.

In addition, the "casement"style of launch window generally offers
more security than the "sliding" type, which is vulnerable to being
manipulated from both sides. However, these days Mission Controllers
will often resort to the Sliding Launch Window as it can be accessed
quickly and doesn't require as much manual operation. Both windows
require a screening device to intercept fly-ins.

Hope this helps.
