I think I need to become far more informed about these matters as this is rather surprising to read.

I’ve been watching Russia toddle about with their “second best in the world” equipment, demonstrating how difficult it can be. And now I’m reading that Houthi rebels have missiles that can make it outside some meaningful definition of “atmosphere”?

Maybe I’m failing to understand how modern military rocketry works.

I think people's still imagine the technology's availability as it was 40 years ago.

* Launch sites: https://space.skyrocket.de/directories/launchsites.htm

* Satellites by country (I expect most didn't launch their own) https://space.skyrocket.de/directories/sat_c.htm

(Perhaps someone knows a list of countries with launch ability.)
