Notice that French Guyana is one of the few places on land in the world that can be used for launching rockets into both equitorial and polar orbits without having to overfly inhabited areas.

So what's Hawai'i? Chopped liver????

It's one of the other few spots on the Earth that is good for both quitorial and polar launches. I never said Guyana was the only such place. It probably wasn't considered in the 1950's and 60's because of it's distance from the US mainland. There are currently private sector proposals to build launch facilities there.
