Launching in any weather is not a problem.
Any rocket can be launched in any weather these days.
Whether that launch will be successful and whether the crew survives the launch is the the problem

And you're right.
I guess my scientist would say it's impossible.
They would probably tell me it's more efficient to develop an engine who works in space.
Which would mean, using a standard rocket to send astronaut from earth to space(docking with a space dock) and then use this spacecraft with this space engine to travel in space.
