I don't think there is an orbital launch facility in the vicinity of 007's demise. 7) People's Republic of China (don't know the name) 8) Japan (don't know the name) 9) India (don't know the name) 10) ESA: Kohuru, Guinea Have I missed any? Do any of the ESA countries have their own facilities? I have left out things like ICBMs which probably have the physical capability to reach orbit if someone were able to change their programming before being shot or court-martialed (and then shot). I have also left out potential sites like the ocean off San Clemente (where Starstruck Inc. launched their sub-orbital test vehicle).
