Ground to orbit launch sites that I can think of:

US:

1) KSC  (here I lump NASA plus whatever military stuff is nearby)
2) Vandenberg AFB
3) Wallops Island VA

USSR:  (Forgive the spelling)

4) Kapustin Yar
5) Plesstek
6) Balkaunaur (the spelling is really mangled on this one...)

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).
