I have often wondered how many launch-to-earth-orbit capable facilities
there are in the world.  How many Eastern Block, Western Block, and
non aligned?  It would really be interesting to develop a list of
these facilities along with their locations and launch capable
descriptions.  Maybe we could expand this to include support facilities
for research, development, control, etc.  

When KAL 007 was shot down, it would have been nice to know just how
important the launch facility was that the plane flew over.
Many times news articles mention places that are associated with space
activities but don't give enough background to understand
anything more than vague associations.

Anyone out there have such a list?

Let's talk about it.
