Houston, day by day

Houston is the most ethnically diverse large city in America, has no zoning code and no skyline limit, and runs every crewed American spaceflight from a campus 40 km out of town. These plans cover the Space Center, a museum district of nineteen museums, and the bayou the city was founded on.
