It would be convenient enough but the FAA isn't too happy with the idea of a 12-story missile full of explosive fuel and oxidiser flying over populated areas.

Yes, part of the inconvenience of course is that it's unlikely to be anywhere near the continental US.
If you just needed to find two bits of ground with room for rocket pads and one 2300 miles east of the other it really wouldn't be that hard to have both in the continental US. It's the fact that the whole flight path has to be safe that makes it virtually impossible.
