LEO is the ocean, not an island (let alone a continent). We create cruise liners to ride the oceans, not artificial islands in the middle of them. We need a physical place, which has physical resources, to make our future out there.

It looks like they may have actually even overflown Miami directly slightly, but given the momentum from the dogleg it also likely never had an IIP over Miami either.
