I did kinda hint at the problem with space debris in one of my earlier comments but I didn't think the problem would be quite so bad!
So irrespective of usable rockets that are conveniently near enough to the launch pad and irrespective of the willingness to commit vital resources to an endeavour that has extremely limited usage and low rates of success, there's unlikely to be any way to bypass the debris field until a nation is in a position to actually clean up the low- and mid-range orbits.
