This is actually an advantage, given that there isn't any shuttle to take up modules any more. The Chinese could launch Russian designed modules to build a new space station (and with a fair bit of Chinese innovation in between, this is basically what they do), but no one at present can launch the sorts of modules that were launched on the shuttle. No current vehicle can take up such large loads and then place them where they need to be. Any space station parts launched now NEED to be able to move themselves.

Looking more closely, unless Google Earth's model is very far from Earth's oblate spheroid shape (or its ruler widget is broken) then there are a lot of paths from Sierra Leone through Suez to China and with a lot of wiggle room to spare. I wonder if the model TFA used has the Suez Canal marked as a coast-line and so discounted these paths.

Certainly seems to pass through the bottleneck at Suez and misses the Caspian Sea.

and upgrade to 4.2RC.
I'm not sure whether they will push 4.2 into the backports repo but this doesn't mean you can't have it.

Great! We no longer have Windows Vista, we have Windows Bush!
