🚀 Spaceports of the World

These are notable spaceports — launch complexes from which rockets and research missiles rise, from Cape Canaveral, Baikonur and Kourou to India’s Sriharikota, Japan’s Tanegashima and the first commercial private-rocket fields, each a place where national ambition is bolted to a pad. Each profile shows where the spaceport sits, which country it is in, and a plain-English introduction from Wikipedia.
