Thanks for the update RC!

Baikonur State Commission adopted a decision 16.10.2013Na on the removal of a space rocket "Proton-M" with the upper stage "Breeze-M" and spacecraft Sirius FM-6 ("Sirius FM-6") to the launch pad.

Sounds like it is in the final stages?...right....EDIT T-4?

Back in 2010 at the old SWP site someone provided a link to the actual launch. It was AWESOME!!

I wonder if we can get a link to this one?

Not sure Denco, the last Proton was launched approximately at 1:30 AM Russian time.

Thanks ST for the direct link. You can access that link by clicking the "click to watch launch" on the "Countdown: Sirius FM-6 Liftoff" image within the link I provided as well. Looks like we are all set to see this in action on Sunday.....

Also, thks to Denco, RC, ST etc on the Proton launch...sounds good...if all goes well going into the CC could be very positive for SP. You folks are running a good site here...tks for all you do...I'm all in now and hoping for a nice run to the 4.20 area if the CC goes well! GLTA

You're welcome guys.....yeah, I enjoy the radio show as well. I really dig the Satellite Radio intro. song. I always listen to the whole song even when I listen to the pod cast...
