Here's a preliminary small addon which places most known spaceports on Earth. I used the data found here :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_spaceports
Take note that I didn't placed some of the minor and unused old spaceports or old test bases (mostly in Africa). Are they of any interest ?
Please, I need some advices about the size and type used in the location file.
Other locations suggestions ? All the landing sites for the shuttles ?

If I might add my useless thoughts again here, Martin...
I personally think that as many of these locations as we can get would be fine in my opinion. We can always edit out, (or save somewhere else) those locations which may not be needed at all times. I have a collection of ALL of your location files simply because they may be of use in future add-ons. These are also very easy to either use (or not to use) depending on each individual's preferences, so the more the merrier. These places really DO enhance the capabilities of Celestia when we're using VT's too. They make it very easy to locate the sites involved in our space history, so I thank you once again for all of your work here.
Good stuff.
